Fat chance

The fat-tree is one of the most widely-used topologies by interconnection network manufacturers. Recently, it has been demonstrated that a deterministic routing algorithm that optimally balances the network traffic can not only achieve almost the same ...

We introduce and analyze a new family of multiprocesser interconnection networks, called generalized fat trees, which include as special cases the fat trees used for the connection machine architecture CM-5, pruned butterflies, and various other fat ...

FPGA overlay networks-on-chip (NoCs) based on Butterfly Fat Tree (BFT) topology and lightweight flow control can outperform state-of-the-art FPGA NoCs, such as Hoplite and others, on metrics such as throughput, latency, cost and power efficiency, and ...
