Surely "27-dimensional" must be wrong? 65536 is 2^16; what would an extra 11 dimensions be for?
(The OP says 12-dimensional; the Wikipedia page says 12-dimensional in one place and 20-dimensional in another; the latter seems like it must also be wrong. I wonder whether it's 16+4 where the correct figure is 16-4, the idea being that there are 2^4=16 processors per node or something like that.)
- gjm11 5y agoIt sure looks like 12 is the right number and is indeed 16 minus 4. http://public.callutheran.edu/~reinhart/CSC521MSCS/Week7/ConnectionMachine.pdf http://public.callutheran.edu/~reinhart/CSC521MSCS/Week7/Con... "For a fully configured CM-1, the network is a 12-cube connecting 4,096 processor chips (that is, each l6-processor chip lies at the vertex of a 12-cube)."
