Design of Fault Tolerant Shuffle Exchange Gamma Interconnection Network Layouts

Advancement in technology has resulted in increased computing power with the use of multiple processors within a system. These multiple processors need to communicate with each other and with memory modules. Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) provide a communication medium in such multi-processor systems by interconnecting a number of processors and memory modules. Besides, MINs also provide a cost effective substitute to costly crossbars in parallel computers and switching systems in telephone industry. This paper introduces two new fault-tolerant MINs named as Shuffle Exchange Gamma Interconnection Networks (SEGIN-1 and SEGIN-2). SEGIN-1 and SEGIN-2 can be obtained by altering Shuffle Exchange Network with one extra stage (SEN+) and provide two disjoint paths similar to it. Performance of SEGIN-1 and SEGIN-2 has been evaluated in terms of alternative paths, disjoint paths, reliability and hardware cost, and is compared with some very famous MINs like Shuffle Exchange Network (SEN), Shuffle Exchange Network with one extra stage (SEN+), Shuffle Exchange Network with two extra stage (SEN+2), Extra Stage Cube (ESC) and Gamma Interconnection Network (GIN). Results suggest that SEGINs surpass all the compared networks; hence, the proposed designs seem to be suitable for implementing practical interconnection networks.

Analisis Hubungan Bauran Pemasaran terhadap Keputusan Pembelian Smartphone Blackberry dan Samsung Android

Technological developments lead to the entire company continues to enhance innovation in creating products derived from it, including the telephone industry.In a few years, the telephone industry introduced a variety of smartphone, including smartphones based on operating system RIM (Research in Motion) which produces branded Blackberry and smartphone based Android operating system with one of the companies that have joined with the operating system is Samsung Android. The research was conducted by measuring the consumer based marketing mix and should be able to explain what factors areas sociated with the sale of the two smartphones. Marketing mixis a set ofmarketing toolsused by companies to continuously achieve their marketing goals. The marketing tools are classified into four groups namely known 4Ps: product, price, place, and promotion. This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to the respondents as many as 160 pieces and 160 pieces of Blackberry smartphones to the Samsung Android smartphone respondents. Tests performed with Kendall Tau correlation test using SPSS 15 software. The results showed that the variables of product, price and promotion has a significant correlation to the consumer buying decision on Blackberry smartphones. However, variable rates become very dominant variables related to consumer purchasing decisions for Blackberry smartphones. Meanwhile the Kendall Tau correlation test on the Samsung Android smartphones, only products have a price and a significant correlation on consumer purchasing decisions against Samsung's Android smartphones, and variable products become a dominant variables related to consumer purchasing decisions. Thus it can be done by both companies marketing strategies in order to achieve sales targets and products in accordance with marketing objectives.Keywords: Phones, smartphones, Blackberry, Samsung Android, marketing mix, purchasing decisionsAbstrakPerkembangan teknologi menyebabkan seluruh perusahaan terus meningkatkan inovasiinovasi dalam menciptakan produk yang dihasilkannya, termasuk pada industri telepon. Pada beberapa tahun belakangan ini industri telepon memperkenalkan teleponsmartphone yang beragam, diantaranya smartphone yang berbasis sistem operasi RIM (Research in Motion) yang memproduksi telepon bermerek Blackberry dan smartphone yang berbasis sistem operasi Android dengan salah satu perusahaan yang telah bergabung dengan sistem operasi tersebut adalah Samsung Android. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan melakukan pengukuran kepada konsumen berdasarkan bauran pemasaran dan diharapkan mampu menjelaskan faktor-faktor apa saja yang berhubungan dengan penjualan di antara kedua smartphone ini. Bauran pemasaran (marketing mix) adalah seperangkat alat pemasaran yang digunakan perusahaan secara terus menerus untuk mencapai tujuan pemasarannya. Alat pemasaran tersebut di klasifikasikan menjadi empat kelompok yang dikenal 4P yaitu: produk, harga, tempat, dan promosi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner sebanyak 160 buah kepada responden smartphone Blackberry dan 160 buah kepada responden smartphone Samsung Android. Pengujian dilakukan dengan uji korelasi Kendall Tau menggunakan software SPSS 15. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel produk, harga dan promosi mempunyai korelasi yang signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian konsumen terhadap smartphone Blackberry. Namun variabel harga menjadi variabel yang sangat dominan berhubungan dengan keputusan pembelian konsumen terhadap smartphone Blackberry. Sementara itu pada pengujian uji korelasi Kendall Tau pada smartphone Samsung Android, hanya variabel produk dan harga yang mempunyai korelasi yang signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian konsumen terhadap smartphone Samsung Android, dan variabel produk menjadi variabel yang sangat dominan berhubungan dengan keputusan pembelian konsumen. Dengan demikian dapat dilakukan strategi pemasaran oleh kedua perusahaan agar target penjualan produk tercapai dan sesuai dengan tujuan pemasaran.Kata kunci: Telepon, smartphone, Blackberry, Samsung Android, bauran pemasaran, keputusan pembelian
