A New Look-Ahead Algorithm to Improve the Performance of Omega Networks

Department of Computer Engineering College of Computer and Information Sciences P.O Box 51178, Riyadh 11543 King Saud University, Saudi Arabia

Abstract

In this paper, we concentrate on the internal blocking problem related to Omega Network which is a type of Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs). We introduce a new algorithm to alleviate the internal blocking problem, the function of this look-ahead algorithm is to decide which packet to block in case of internal blocking. The performance results indicate that the introduced algorithm decreases the internal blocking problem significantly. Since the computations involved in the introduced algorithm are so little, it can be implemented in real time effectively.
