Özet

In this paper, we develop multi-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (MFANN) models for predicting the performance measures of a message-passing multiprocessor architecture interconnected by the simultaneous optical multiprocessor exchange bus (SOME-Bus), which is a fiber-optic interconnection network. OPNET Modeler is used to simulate the SOME-Bus multiprocessor architecture and to create the training and testing datasets. The performance of the MFANN prediction models is evaluated using standard error of estimate (SEE) and multiple correlation coefficient (R). Also, the results of the MFANN models are compared with the ones obtained by generalized regression neural network (GRNN), support vector regression (SVR), and multiple linear regression (MLR). It is shown that MFANN models perform better (i.e., lower SEE and higher R) than GRNN-based, SVR-based, and MLR-based models for predicting the performance measures of a message-passing multiprocessor architecture.
