5. Appendix: interconnection networks
The interconnection networks used in parallel architectures have a number of characteristics, the main ones being as follows:
topology is the way in which nodes are interconnected;
the diameter is the minimum distance between the most distant nodes, measured in number of steps through successive nodes;
the bisection rate is the number of connections to be cut to divide the network into two parts ;
latency is the transmission delay between two nodes;
blocking or non-blocking. A non-blocking network allows any available source node to be linked to any available destination node;
material cost ;
etc.
