Abstract :
A series of simulations comparing different hypercube architectures for application in a network configuration of personal computers (PCs) is described. The study was done using Network II.5, a simulation package for networking and processing, to simulate various levels of hypercube architectures. The data are used to analyze the various levels of hypercube programming (N=1 to 4) for comparison with a single- and multiple-user microcomputer. Implementation includes an application communications program running on a PC that uses message passing as a form of control between other computers in the hypercube network
