Abstract :
A new dynamic circuit switching architecture for connecting resources in parallel processing systems is proposed. The network provides links for any input to any output under a distributed control scheme. It utilizes 2×4/4×2 nodes at the first/last stage, and 4×4 nodes in the middle stages. The network compares favorably to existing nonblocking and blocking networks in terms of area and speed
