ABSTRACT

The supercomputer, a computing architecture concept that has inspired the creators of Cray T3D and Ncube, is an example of implementation of 3-D design. The components of a supercomputer, as a system, are designed based on classical paradigms of 2-D architecture that becomes 3-D because of:

3-D topology (of interconnects), or 3-D data structures and corresponding algorithms, or 3-D communication flow.
