Hi everyone, I have a few updated questions to ask.  This is particularly
aimed at Brad, but if anyone else knows, I would love some answers.



Why are there n+1 switches rather than just one in the crossbar definition?

That is to ask, why couldn't this snippet:

>  ext_links = [ExtLink(ext_node=n, int_node=i)
> for (i, n) in enumerate(nodes)]
> xbar = len(nodes) # node ID for crossbar switch
>  int_links = [IntLink(node_a=i, node_b=xbar) for i in range(len(nodes))]
> return Crossbar(ext_links=ext_links, int_links=int_links,
>  num_int_nodes=len(nodes)+1)


Instead be implemented as so?:

>  ext_links = [ExtLink(ext_node=n, int_node=0)
> for (i, n) in enumerate(nodes)]
> int_links = []
>  return Crossbar(ext_links=ext_links, int_links=int_links,
> num_int_nodes=1)



What is the status of garnet?  I haven't seen much discussion of it on
either mailing list.

Is a Bus interconnect possible using either of the ruby network models?
 From what I can tell it's not.  The gems-users mailing list seemed to
agree.
