Cellular automata on graphs with random topologies where each node has k neighbors with k proportional to log(n) achieve consensus convergence time of O(log n / log log n), which is faster than high-dimensional grid topologies and represents the information-theoretic lower bound because the diameter of such graphs scales as log(n) / log(k-1)

Elon ZhangEvidence Quote
“the diameter of such graph is is about log n over log k... the diameter is quite small smaller than the uh grid topology with the sigma on with same degree so it has very high effective dimension and it is a very good topology for consensus because it has very fast convergence time”
