Abstract
Many studies of advanced router features consider only their benefits, not their costs. In this paper, we examine the cost in router complexity of adaptivity and virtual lanes in a class of wormhole routers by examining a set of router designs. Increased router complexity affects on achievable router latency and bandwidth. Our studies establish the cost of adaptivity and virtual lanes allowing cost to be compared to performance benefit.
