Fundamental limits on the communication capabilities of massively parallel multiprocessors are investigated. It is shown that in the limit of machines of infinite extent in which the number of processors per unit volume is constant and in which the communication bandwidth from each processor to its neighbors depends only on their separation distance, interprocessor communication must fall off f
