Abstract

A hypercube multiprocessor is a MIMD distributed memory parallel computer in which 2**d nodes are connected in a d-dimensional hypercube topology. In this topology a d-dimensional cube is constructed out of two (d-1)-dimensional subcubes by connecting corresponding nodes so that each node is connected to d nelghbours. Each node contains a processor and local memory. All nodes are connected (directly or indirectly) to a 'cube manager'. Hypercubes were first developed by the California Institute of Technology.
