 A computer for operations with functions was presented and developed by Kartsev in 1967.The first successful implementation of vector processing occurred in 1966, when both the Control Data Corporation STAR-100 and the Texas Instruments Advanced Scientific Computer (ASC) were introduced.The basic ASC (i.e., "one pipe") ALU used a pipeline architecture that supported both scalar and vector computations, with peak performance reaching approximately 20 MFLOPS, readily achieved when processing long vectors.
