A manifold array topology includes processing elements nodes, memories or the , like arranged in clusters (52). Clusters are connected by cluster switch arrangements (986A) which advantageously allow changes of organization without physical rearrangement of processing elements. A significant reduction in the typical number of interconnections for preexisting arrays is also achieved. Fast, efficient and cost effective processing and communication result with the added benefit of ready scalability.
