I assume 2^14 node parallelism with only a small fraction computing at any time. But then my nodes are really smart memory rather than full-blown processors and not async yet. At this time I use a random access model for my simulation, but I realise this is not going to work in the hardware implementation and will need some form of message passing between nodes Although looking at MPI, this seems far too complex an implementation Numbers of connections between the different units is a tricky question, although I am thinking that a scale-free network may be a good compromise between minimising path length and (silicon) resource usage. Anybody know of any research on this in parallel computing?
