Toward the Ultra High-Speed Computing System, lecture by Dr. Tadashi Watanabe. This video was recorded in January, 1992. From University Video Communications' catalog: "The lecture introduces the architectural and technological considerations for development of supercomputer systems. Performance is achieved by reducing the time to process any given quantity of data; and this reduction is a result of increasing the number of concurrently processed data items, and by shortening the machine cycle required to perform that processing. The NEC SX-3 R Supercomputer is used as an example. Chip design, packaging and interconnects, and cooling are presented, followed by a discussion of architectural issues such as scalar performance, instruction control, vector architectural features, parallel architectural features, and multi-processor control."
