Abstract :
Several broad classes of nonplanar arrays/architectures are analysed. Included in this are architectures which have a natural interpretation in terms of data flow on the surface of a torus, sphere, cylinder and other geometric forms. A definitive quantification is given of the several architectural classes and architectural reconfiguration is demonstrated to facilitate iterative computations.
