Abstract

A new network topology, called the 3D Multi-Mesh (3D MM) is presented here which is an extension of the Multi-Mesh architecture [2]. This network consists of three-dimensional meshes (termed as 3D blocks), each having n3 processors, interconnected in a suitable manner so that the resulting topology is 6-regular with processors and a diameter of only 3n. It is expected that this architecture will enable more efficient algorithm mapping compared to existing architectures.
