Question

Difference between static and dynamic interconnection network in computer architecture

Answer 1

In a static interconnection network, there is no external switching element to connect one processing node to another processing node. This network is also called direct interconnection network.

In a dynamic interconnection network, the connection between two processing nodes is established by using cables and switches between them. This network is also known as indirect interconnection network. 

Answer 2

There are two types of a interconnection network. Static network and the dynamic interconnection network.  

The static interconnection network is a type of network that provides the fixed connection between the nodes. These networks are hard to configure and are unchangeable.

the dynamic interconnection network is the network that is easy to configure and the links of the nodes easily change in it. In the dynamic network, the connections are not fixed.
