That's why I have borrowed many things from VHDL to my HLL.

Well, my design principles are:
* Every node contain a memory - at least one single 8-bit result and an
instruction.
* Neighborhood connection: The ways to route data to distant cells is
up to the software.
The normal PC clusters are often topologically stars (central control) or
full-connected (each node can contact any node in the cluster).
