OP's referring to an old architecture which was called "the hypercube" which involved a couple (I can't remember if 16 32, 64 or what number) of microprocessors connected to one another in a certainly-not-2d topology.
Edit: oh a bit of searching and it was in the order of thousands of microprocessors. It was called "Connection Machine", you can read about it in Wikipedia[0].
