Provides fundamentals of reliability engineering and illustrates practical applications in the area of parallel/distributed systems (Multistage Interconnection Networks) The first part of the book (chapters 1–5) introduces the concept of reliability engineering, elements of probability theory, probability distributions, availability, and data analysis. The second part of the book (chapters 6–11) provides an overview of parallel/distributed computing, network design considerations, classification of multistage interconnection networks, network reliability evaluation methods, and reliability analysis of multistage interconnection networks including reliability prediction of distributed systems using Monte Carlo method. Fundamentals of Reliability Engineering meets the increasing demand for knowledge tools that practicing reliability professionals can use to optimize their reliability decisions. Reliability prediction is important as it determines the usability and efficiency of the network to provide services. Reliability evaluation methods discussed in this book can be applied to analyze the reliability of any other systems. As an example, reliability analysis of distributed systems that consist of layers of switching elements connected together in a predefined topology that provide the connectivity between the set of processors and the set of memory modules, are presented.

Keeping in view the growth of the technological frontiers, there is always a need for the development of reliable, fault tolerant and cost- effective interconnection networks (INs) which are the critical metrics to achieve the goal of parallelism. The main objective of this book is to design new fault tolerant interconnection network layouts capable of path redundancy among dynamic failures. New INs designs are proposed and their observed results are found promising when compared with some of the earlier networks. The book also covers the reliability evaluation of various industrial network topologies considering multiple reliability performance parameters (2-TR, broadcast and ATR). Finally, the book also focuses on reliability evaluation and comparison of various topologies considering connectivity among multiple sources and multiple destinations (MSMT) nodes.

Multistage Interconnection Networks offer an economical solution to communication and interconnection between system components. MINs are designed to provide an effective communication in switching. MINs consist of stages that can route the switching through the path. MINs with the Omega property considered as a practical connection to connect a large number of processors to establish multiprocessor system. In this types of network the major problem occur when the switches failed to route in the stage, if these situations occur the switching need to route to an alternative path to avoid from system failure. Shuffle Exchange Networks (SENs) have been widely considered as practical interconnection systems due to their size of it switching elements (SEs) and uncomplicated configuration. It can helps in fault tolerance and reduce the latency. This research emphasize on the SENs architecture to derived estimation point of reliability value specifically for reliability performance in the interconnection networks.

This thesis provides a comparative analysis of various interconnection networks and multiprocessor systems. The Shuffle-Exchange multistage interconnection Network (SEN) and its variants are evaluated and compared. Comparison is based on reliability, composite measures of performance and reliability, and cost. Closed-form expressions for the computation of the available bandwidth for multiprocessor systems with a capability of graceful degradation are developed. The time dependent reliability of the SEN and three fault-tolerant schemes aimed at improving system reliability are examined. These schemes are the redundant network, the extra stage network, and the network augmented with intrastage links. Exact closed-form expressions for the time-dependent reliability of the N x N Shuffle-Exchange Network (SEN), the 8 x 8 and 16 x 16 SEN with an additional stage (SEN+), and the 4 X 4 and 8 X 8 Augmented SEN (ASEN) are derived. Upper and lower bounds useful for the analysis of larger SEN+ and ASEN networks are derived. Performability analysis of a complete multiprocessor system is conducted.
