Write a multithreaded program to simulate a hypercube network and a mesh network, both with multiple parallel communication links between nodes. Determine how the performance changes when the number of parallel links between nodes is increased, and make a comparative study of the performance of the hypercube and mesh using the results of your simulation. Performance metrics include the number of requests that are accepted in each time period. See Wilkinson (1996) for further details and sample results of this simulation.
