Arrays of machines such as computers

摘要: Improved parallel-processor computer systems and improved data transfer incorporating novel networks for inter-machine communication. In a first type of communication system, tree wiring is employed in which the maximum number outgoing channels required any machine set handling machines to communicate with other equal such between root that most distant therefrom. Optimum numbers large sets are disclosed. second plateau distributed logarithmic employed. The arranged multi-dimensional arrays, each array having sub-arrays sub-array connected corresponding dimensional directions. side lengths
