Hexagon interconnection network topology

The interconnection network is a programmable structure that handles the transport of data between the interrelating elements within a computing system. As an essential part of every high-performance computing system (HPCS), it principally determinates the overall computational performance. Regrettably, the development and deployment of Interconnection network which would efficiently provide high communication performance and extended scalability is a daunting task. This paper aims on advocating a scalable interconnection network topology capable of meeting the high performance communication prerequisites. Therefore, in what follows hierarchical multilevel hybrid hexagon topology has been discussed and its behavior has been successfully verified. Furthermore, the communication performance of the proposed network has been paralleled with already existing multidimensional topologies, like the butterfly, the cube and the hypercube. The communication performance of the suggested “Hybrid-Hexagon” Interconnection Network (HHIN) has been evaluated on the basis of extensive simulation scenarios conducted in the OpNet simulation environment.
