Abstract
Early ideas, developments and investigations regarding Parallel Computing (or Parallel Processing) in Europe are enumerated without a claim for completeness. Beyond it the term ’ early’ is according to a subjective rating limited to activities till the end of the seventieth. Recent developments like the Transputer — Technology, Industrial — Production lines like Convex, Parsytech etc. are not considered in this contribution.
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
