Exercise 23
Given the following Omega network, which allows 8 CPUs (P0 through P7) to access 8 memory modules (M0 through M7): Given the following Omega network, which allows 8 CPUs (P0 through P7) to access 8 memory modules (M0 through M7):    a) Show how the following connections through the network are achieved (explain how each switch must be set). Refer to the switches as 1A, 2B, etc.: i) P0 ? M2 ii) P4 ? M4 iii) P6 ? M3 b) Can these connections occur simultaneously, or do they conflict? Explain. c) List a processor-to-memory access that conflicts (is blocked) by the access P0 ? M2 and is not listed in part (a). d) List a processor-to-memory access that is not blocked by the access P0 ? M2 and is not listed in part (a).
