I - author of the article, of which copied the picture. Article is open access. What else is needed to confirm the rights? Thank. --Solikkh (talk) 15:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

if talking about the article, it really is not a candidate for deletion. the book alone is a vital obscure and historic piece of Computing history, that must have been well-known in Russia but completely unknown to the rest of the world. or was there a different meaning to the word "file"?

Is this not just SIMD?

I cannot really make head or tails of the main section, but it appears this design was intended to apply the same function to an array of data. This is essentially the SIMD (or MIMD) approach. I suspect this is simply a Russian name for the same design, and as such, should not have its own article. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:11, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ohh it is most definitely not SIMD. firstly it is Vector Processing (see the article on the same) but it appears to have Hardware-level support for Higher Order Functions (!!) as best I can tell. additionally I know of absolutely no processor - and I have studied dozens - which has hardware support for differentiation and other such functions. this historic design is revolutionary. as a historic design it is worth its own page in its own right.
