Sumario:A review of high speed computer architectures up to November 1978 is presented using the specific examples of the TI ASC, Burroughs BSP, CDS STAR-100, CRI CRAY-1, ICL DAP and FPS AP-120B. The architectural design solutions adopted by these difference computer are analysed in terms of memory size and bandwidth, vector processing style, scalar processing power, input/output and context switching. Software problems and the vectorization of FORTR
