摘要: This paper introduces a unified approach to approximately compute the bandwidth of tightly coupled multiprocessors, working either synchronously or asynchronously. Several types interconnection networks are considered, namely: crossbar, multiple-bus and with partial-busses. The analysis is carried out for both constant exponential memory service times. Simulation runs also included validate approximation used in model. Although asymptotic, computations turn be quite accurate moderate, even small, system sizes.
