Abstract :
The authors present an interference analysis of an N×N crossbar for a tightly coupled multiprocessor in the presence of `hot spot´ traffic conditions. The analysis shows that this hot spot traffic model includes the uniform traffic model as a special case and that the crossbar network compared to multistage networks is less affected by this nonuniformity of memory reference patterns
