Fault Tolerant Irregular Modified Alpha Network and Evaluation of Performance Parameters

Interconnection Networks are playing a vital role in parallel processing. The speed of hardware has become proportional to response time of electronic circuits. But requirement for more reliability, bandwidth, processing power and throughput is increasing constantly. This paper introduces a new Multistage Interconnection network named as irregular Modified Alpha Network (Modified ALN), which is a modified form of Alpha network. This network acquires increased values of performance parameters as compared to other existing MINs like Alpha, Quad Tree and Augmented Shuffle Exchange Network.
