There's been plenty of "multi-dimensional" processor interconnects over the years. You should do some further research. :)
The original poster totally failed to answer the single biggest unasked question - "What problem are you trying to solve with a Tilera?". There's large classes of problems that will run much better on a Tilera chipset. And there's plenty of workloads that will totally suck on that hardware. 1K cores on a chip. All hanging off one memory interconnect. I think that about says it all right there.
(hypercube-connected O2000, anyone?)
No thanks, I got like a half dozen of their ilk already.
