Question

Difference between crossbar switch and multiport memory

Answer 1

Single stage networks  are sometimes called  recirculating  network because  data items may have  to pass through the single stage quite a couple of times.

The crossbar switch and multi port memory  both are the single stage networks.

If two memories attempts to access the same memory at the same time then only one request is serviced at a time.

Answer 2

Ans.

A crossbar switch is the extensive assembly of the different individual switches that is present between the set of an input and the set of an output.

In a matrix formation, the switches are arranged.

When it is closed, it helps one of the inputs to an another output.

However, the multiport switch connects a processor with the another processor.
