On the speedup required for work-conserving crossbar switches.

This paper describes the architecture for a work-conserving server using a combined I/O-buffered crossbar switch. The switch employs a novel algorithm based on output occupancy, the lowest occupancy output first algorithm (LOOFA), and a speedup of only two. A work-conserving switch provides the same...
