Abstract
The aim of this research is to design a new architecture for large-scale clusters to improve the communication within the interconnection network to gain higher performance. The new architecture will be based on clusters built using workstations containing multi-cored processors in a multi- cluster architecture in the presence of uniform traffic. Multi- core technology is proposed to achieve higher performance without driving up power consumption and heat, which is the main concern in a single-core processor. The architecture will avoid congestion and deadlocks in the network to guarantee faster message transmission. The architecture performance will be validated through simulation, experimental and measurements under various working conditions.
