Regular topologies in microprocessor systems and computer networks

The emergence and development of computer networks is a logical pattern in the evolution of computer technology. There is an blurring of the boundaries between computing and switching equipment, their mutual penetration into each other. On the one hand, the complexity of organizing interprocessor communications in distributed computing systems has grown into a problem of paramount importance, which until recently was inherent only in communication systems. On the other hand, traditional telecommunication systems, being multiprocessor in nature, become similar to large computing systems. In this symbiosis, the problems and development experience gained in both areas become common.
