Abstract :
A candidate network function is accurately defined for real-time parallel computers. A concise, time-driven, flit-based, priority-driven, wormhole-routed, network simulator has been designed. Experimentation is performed by monitoring the latency and the throughput with variations in different network parameters. Initially the destination address, message length and message priority are generated randomly with a uniform distribution. Then, various non-uniformities are introduced to mimic realistic applications. Results are plotted and analyzed
