1. A two dimensional network mesh of processor nodes to perform parallel processing, the two dimensional network mesh comprising:

  • a plurality of processor nodes arranged in a square two dimensional matrix of nodes;

    a plurality of busses coupled to the plurality of processors to interconnect the plurality of processor nodes to allow the exchange of data between the plurality of processor nodes;

    a network controller to control the exchange of data between the plurality of processor nodes; and

    , wherein a control method for the exchange of data between the plurality of processor nodes used by the network controller is an interleaved binary exchange algorithm with a multi-stage information transfer cycle, in at least one stage of the information transfer cycle information is transferred in a vertical direction between some nodes and in the horizontal direction between other nodes.
