AB  - Today, the field of high-speed computers and supercomputing applications is dominated by the vector-processor architecture. This paper gives a survey on the architectural principles of vector computers like segmentation, pipelining, and chaining as well as on the spectrum of real systems available in the market. It illuminates the potentiality and the limitations of vectorization strategies. Recent developments towards multi-vectorcomputer systems give impact to new supercomputing concepts balancing vectorization versus parallel computation by exploiting multitasking principles. Covering a wide spectrum of applications vector-supercomputers are making relevant contributions to the progress in scientific research and technology.
