Abstract
Multistage interconnection network (MIN) is an interconnection system consisting of multiple layers of interlinked switching elements arranged in a predefined topology allowing processor and memory modules to communicate with each other. Reliability evaluation for MINs is quite evident, as these measures provide user-oriented performance assessment. Reliability analysis of two important interconnection network layouts (shuffle and gamma) are computed and compared here. Reliability expressions are computed mathematically by the path set-based analytical methods using the MVI algorithm.
