Course description
By taking interconnection networks as examples, we discuss them with respect to their classification, basic concepts, design metrics, deadlock and starvation, routing algorithms from the technical and engineering aspects.
Expected Learning
The students are requested to understand classification, basic concepts, design metrics, deadlock and starvation, and routing algorithms of interconnection networks from the technical and engineering aspects.

Prerequisites
Required Text(s) and Materials
English materials are distributed during the classes.
References
Reference books are introduced in the first lesson.
Assessment/Grading
Assessment is based on contribution to classes (60%) and presentation (40%). NOTE THAT IN EACH LESSON, THE STUDENT MUST MAKE REMARKS TO GIVE SOME CONTRIBUTION TO THE CLASSES. Just staying in the classroom without contribution is not considered to be attendance. Understanding classification, basic concepts, design metrics, deadlock and starvation, and routing algorithms of interconnection networks from the technical and engineering aspects is evaluated. In case of the online classes, the grade evaluation premises all attendances, and the attitude to learn and the presentation are comprehensively evaluated. Standard study time set by the our university is required to get the grade.
