- Simple. A 2-D hypercube is a square and a 2-D torus is a ring (loop). Each
- node is only connected to the next node in both topologies. (Imagine a ring
- with four evenly spaced points.) See also: Hypercube Algorithms, Ranka/Sahni,
- ISBN 0-387-97322-2, 1990. Chap 1 as I recall has a pretty easy-to-read
- intro.
