Question

What is the basic component of a multistage network?

Options

OTwo-input
O One-input
O two-out interchange switch
O Both A and C​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) are a class of high-speed computer networks usually composed of processing elements (PEs) on one end of the network and memory elements (MEs) on the other end, connected by switching elements (SEs).

Answer 2

Option c is right. The basic component of a multistage network is a two-out interchange switch

• Multistage is a class of high-speed computer networks.
• Processing elements and memory elements are interconnected by switches.
• The switches used for the interconnection of these elements themselves are interconnected.
• Hence it is called multistage network.
• Switches are connected using unique interstage connection pattern.
• 2×2 switch elements are the most common choice for multistage networks.
