Abstract
The present paper introduces the new interconnection network of the BOPS ManArray family of available core products. To form a ManArray network, the processing elements are completely connected within clusters and communicate with members of only two other clusters thereby reducing signal fan-out and wiring density. With this simple network, single-step communications between a hypercube and its compliment node, single-step transpose operations, and a diameter of 2 are achieved.
