Circuits as WAN connections battled successfully against packets for years because they guaranteed bandwidth, no matter what. If you bought a T-1 circuit, the service provider nailed up 1.5Mbps from ...

The architecture, described as ‘packet-controlled circuit-switched double-layer network-on-chip’ provides 11Tbit/s/W communication with every core sending to its neighbour, and 435Gbit/s bandwidth.

Switching algebra is easily visualized using switches since there are only two values: on and off, or true and false. In digital systems we represent these as 1 and 0, respectively. There are only two ...
