Parallel computing on a hypercube: An overview of the architecture and some applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6487986

A hypercube parallel computer is a network of processors, each with only local memory, whose activities are coordinated by messages the processors send between themselves. The interconnection network corresponds to the edges of an n-dimensional cube with a processor at each vertex. This paper gives an overview of the hypercube architecture and its relation to other distributed-memory message-passing multiprocessors. The computation of a crossproducts matrix is an important part of many applications in statistics and provides a simple yet interesting example of a hypercube algorithm. This example is presented to illustrate the concepts in programming of a hypercube.
