Hypercubes in computer architecture
In computer science, the term hypercube refers to a specific type of parallel computer, whose processors, or processing elements (PEs), are interconnected in the same way as the vertices of a hypercube.
Thus, an "n"-dimensional hypercube computer has 2"n" PEs, each directly connected to "n" other PEs.
Examples include the nCUBE machines used to win the first Gordon Bell Prize, the Caltech Cosmic Cube; the Connection Machine, which uses the hypercube topology to connect "groups" of processors.
The purpose of this is to function as an exponential expansion of parallel processing; in computer farms of this type the computing power of the individual processors is not merely added but multiplied, leading to an exponential growth in processing power.
