Abstract
The overall performance of data processing machines can be increased in two ways: (i) by using faster system clocks and (ii) by using parallel systems consisting of a multitude of interconnected processing elements. In the near future central aims of information technology are the development of teraflop (1012 floating point operations per second) supercomputers and switching networks for telecommunications with terabit bandwidth.
