Abstract:Based on the Crossbar switching fabrics with virtual output queuing(VOQ) buffers,an effective Hopfield neural network(HNN) based control approach for scheduling cell is proposed.By defining a new queuing priority function,in which priority is proportional to the number of cells in the buffer,and choosing appropriate parameters in energy function,the neural network scheduler can improve the performance of switching fabrics on quality of service(QoS) greatly.Simulation results show that the proposed approach can improve throughput to 0.998,the cell loss rate is decreased near to 0 and the cell delay is reduced.
