PRAISE FOR
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF INTERCONNECTION NETWORKS
The scholarship of this book is unparalleled in its area. This text is for inter-
connection networks what Hennessy and Patterson’s text is for computer architec-
ture — an authoritative, one-stop source that clearly and methodically explains the
more significant concepts. Treatment of the material both in breadth and in depth is
very well done . . . a must read and a slam dunk! — Timothy Mark Pinkston, Univer-
sity of Southern California
[This book is] the most comprehensive and coherent work on modern intercon-
nection networks. As leaders in the field, Dally and Towles capitalize on their vast
experience as researchers and engineers to present both the theory behind such net-
works and the practice of building them. This book is a necessity for anyone studying,
analyzing, or designing interconnection networks. — Stephen W. Keckler, The Uni-
versity of Texas at Austin
This book will serve as excellent teaching material, an invaluable research refer-
ence, and a very handy supplement for system designers. In addition to documenting
and clearly presenting the key research findings, the book’s incisive practical treat-
ment is unique. By presenting how actual design constraints impact each facet of
interconnection network design, the book deftly ties theoretical findings of the past
decades to real systems design. This perspective is critically needed in engineering
education. — Li-Shiuan Peh, Princeton University
Principles and Practices of Interconnection Networks is a triple threat: compre-
hensive, well written and authoritative. The need for this book has grown with the
increasing impact of interconnects on computer system performance and cost. It
will be a great tool for students and teachers alike, and will clearly help practicing
engineers build better networks. — Steve Scott, Cray, Inc.
Dally and Towles use their combined three decades of experience to create a
book that elucidates the theory and practice of computer interconnection networks.
On one hand, they derive fundamentals and enumerate design alternatives. On the
other, they present numerous case studies and are not afraid to give their experi-
enced opinions on current choices and future trends. This book is a "must buy" for
those interested in or designing interconnection networks. — Mark Hill, University
of Wisconsin, Madison
This book will instantly become a canonical reference in the field of interconnec-
tion networks. Professor Dally’s pioneering research dramatically and permanently
changed this field by introducing rigorous evaluation techniques and creative solu-
tions to the challenge of high-performance computer system communication. This
well-organized textbook will benefit both students and experienced practitioners.
The presentation and exercises are a result of years of classroom experience in cre-
ating this material. All in all, this is a must-have source of information. — Craig
Stunkel, IBM
