Abstract :
The concept of the two-dimensional (2-D) parallel computer with square module arrays was first introduced by Unger. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the relative merits of square and hexagonal module arrays, to propose an operational symbolism for the various basic hexagonal modular transformations which may be performed by these comupters, to illustrate some logical circuit implementation, and to describe a few elementary applications.
