- noun
- /ˈhaɪpərˌkjub/
- Specialized
- The researchers built a hypercube to test the performance of parallel algorithms across multiple computers.
Examples
-
The decomposition Eq. (11) is an expansion in eigenfunctions of the graph Laplacian of the hypercube, which is also known as a Walsh transform in computer science.
Academic text (2018) -
Their 1024-processor supercomputer was wired in a complicated interconnection scheme, a hypercube, that could be conceptualized as a mesh of ten-dimensional "cubes."
Fiction book (2002) -
On the hypercube, there exist exactly Formula omitted direct paths between any two genotypes; in particular, there are L direct paths between a genotype and its antipode.
Academic text (2018) -
Direct paths on the hypercube mutate each locus at most once, i.e., there are no backwards mutations or mutational reversions 18.

In a hypercube network, each processor connects to several neighbors, allowing efficient communication between nodes.

Etymology
Hypercube comes from hyper- 'beyond' and cube 'a box in three dimensions', and in computing it describes a network where processors sit like the corners of a cube that is extended into many dimensions. That's why a hypercube network gives many 'directions' or paths between nodes, helping fast communication.
