Abstract
It has been shown in the previous chapters that SEN and gamma
interconnection network are the best-known MIN and are highly explored in the
literature. It would be interesting to make a hybrid network comprising combined
characteristics of both networks. Few research works are available in the literature
which have explored this interesting topic and reliability evaluations have also been
presented. These networks are known as SEGIN and SEGIN-Minus MIN. In this
chapter, detailed reliability analyses of both networks have been presented and it is
shown that SEGIN-Minus MIN has better performance characteristics than the SEGIN
network.
Keywords: Fault tolerance, Reliability, Shuffle exchange gamma interconnection network (SEGIN), Shuffle exchange gamma-minus interconnection network (SEGIN-Minus).
