Interconnection Networks

There are many ways in which the processors and memories
    of a distributed system can be interconnected

In most cases, the following interconnection networks
    can also be used for
        symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs)

For instance,

• Bus:
  

• Ring:
  

• Crossbar:
  

• Hypercube:
  of order 3

  
  of order 4

• Shuffle-exchange:
  Perfect Shuffle
