Foil 45 Degree and Diameter of Ring and Mesh(Torus) Architectures
From Second set of lectures on CPS615 Parallel Computing Overview CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. byGeoffrey C. Fox *
Mesh seems to have poor diameter but Dally and Seitz emphasize can make up as easy to build physically (circuits are two dimensional). Thus can have fewer links but as physically short can be "thick" (very high bandwidth)
