Features: This book is a carefully organized, comprehensive reference for students and engineers on interconnection networks. It compiles materials from hundreds of research papers and presents them in a clear and structured manner. In this era where interconnection technology has become dominant in digital system design, every digital system designer needs to understand the concepts of topology, routing, and flow control, which are the foundations of interconnection networks. For every engineer who wants to keep up with the pace of interconnection network development, reading this book is the best way. This book adopts a comprehensive descriptive approach, systematically summarizing and discussing the achievements in the research and development of parallel computer interconnection networks over the long term, including representative interconnection networks that have been implemented or proposed in the literature. It covers fundamental concepts, theories, design methods, and engineering practice techniques. The book highlights practical engineering applications and intentionally avoids complex mathematical descriptions, emphasizing design methods and techniques. It dedicates a special section titled "Engineering Problems" at the end of each chapter to discuss practical issues encountered in engineering practice. Additionally, it provides examples and exercises for readers to practice. This book can serve as a reference for computer interconnection network design engineers, as well as a textbook and reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students. Reading this book is the best way to understand parallel computer interconnection network technology.
