You can soup up a local 3d torus with a small network like connectivity. That keeps the the node connectivity and number of wires still manageable. Moreover, the universe does it with local connectivity (even quantum entanglement needss a relativistic channel to tell it from RNG) just fine. A 3d grid/torus would be a good match for anything that can do long-range by iterating short-range interactions. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
