08:3608:36, 31 August 2022 diff hist +64 CDC STAR-100 →Description: Clarify what things from APL influenced the STAR-100 Tag: Visual edit
08:3308:33, 31 August 2022 diff hist +191 CDC STAR-100 →Description: Add another reference for the APL influence Tag: Visual edit

18:1418:14, 29 August 2022 diff hist +45 IBM 801 Update lede to reflect that the article now lists several major awards awarded to John Cocke for his 801 work. Tag: Visual edit
18:1218:12, 29 August 2022 diff hist +1,006 IBM 801 →Recognition: Add Benjamin Franklin Medal; add references Tag: Visual edit
17:5517:55, 29 August 2022 diff hist +95 IBM 801 →Recognition: Added omitted awards given to John Cocke for his 801 work. Tag: Visual edit
17:4717:47, 29 August 2022 diff hist +17 IBM 801 →The Cheetah, Panther, and America projects: Split off awards and credit into separate section
17:4517:45, 29 August 2022 diff hist +626 IBM 801 →America Project: The 801 did not directly lead to America; it did so via Cheetah and Panther Tag: Visual edit: Switched
17:1517:15, 29 August 2022 diff hist −1 m CDC STAR-100 →Description
17:1317:13, 29 August 2022 diff hist +224 CDC STAR-100 →Description: Add reference for APL influence. Tag: Visual edit
17:0817:08, 29 August 2022 diff hist +359 CDC STAR-100 →Description: A previous edit removed all mention of APL; this is unacceptable; the STAR-100 architecture was heavily influenced by APL Tag: Visual edit
16:4416:44, 29 August 2022 diff hist +24 CDC STAR-100 →Description: Clarify that vectors in the STAR-100 had a variable length; the vector instructions did not always operate on 65,535 elements; this important distinction was lost in the previous edit

12:1012:10, 6 January 2022 diff hist +2 Vector processor →Vector processor features: This article is about vector processors; whether GPUs have a similar feature, and how common this similar feature is, is off-topic
12:0412:04, 6 January 2022 diff hist +266 Vector processor →Vector processor features: Name the actual addressing modes instead of referring to them vaguely; provide brief explanation of their function; clarify what FF is
11:5211:52, 6 January 2022 diff hist +47 Vector processor →Vector processor features: False; scatter/gather addressing is essential for sparse vectors and have been known of since the mid-1960s (see Senzig and Smith's VAMP paper), and have been present in every vector supercomputer since the Cray X-MP (c. 1982); indexed addressing is the same as scatter/gather
11:4611:46, 6 January 2022 diff hist +151 Vector processor →Vector processor features: False; unit- and constant-stride addressing are not advanced features
11:4211:42, 6 January 2022 diff hist +104 Vector processor →Vector processor features: False; the point of having vector load and store instructions is to specify that memory accesses can be done in parallel without having to worry about dependences between each access, and because in a load-store architecture with vector processing, vector memory access instructions are needed to complement the vector arithmetic instructions
11:3311:33, 6 January 2022 diff hist −335 Vector processor →Vector processor features: Irrelevant; see previous edit summary
11:3011:30, 6 January 2022 diff hist −1,201 Vector processor →Supercomputers: Remove irrelevant example; see Talk:Vector processor#Removal of the Aspex Microelectronics ASP from the Supercomputers section
11:2911:29, 6 January 2022 diff hist +2,793 Talk:Vector processor →Removal of the Aspex Microelectronics ASP from the Supercomputers section: new section
07:5507:55, 6 January 2022 diff hist −1,758 Vector processor Removed the section on heterogeneous computing for lack of relevance; vector processors are generally CPUs, thus discussion of issues common to all heterogeneous systems is irrelevant and is better suited at Heterogeneous computing, where they should already be covered
07:3507:35, 6 January 2022 diff hist +2,130 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing →Rewrite need at vector processor

12:0612:06, 1 January 2022 diff hist +78 CDC STAR-100 Move source from Further reading into Ref + citation

11:5911:59, 1 January 2022 diff hist +19 CDC STAR-100 →Description: Add citation for the instruction count
11:5811:58, 1 January 2022 diff hist +208 CDC STAR-100 →References: Add Computer Architecture and Parallel Processing
11:4011:40, 1 January 2022 diff hist −301 CDC STAR-100 →Description: Remove the unsupported claim (flagged in Talk as problematic) that the STAR was similar to earlier CDC supercomputers and simpler; clarify that vector instructions aren't intrinsically complex and implementable only with microcode
10:5410:54, 1 January 2022 diff hist +21 CDC STAR-100 The cited source does not support the claim that the listed organizations were customers; AFAICR, there were no customers of the STAR-100
10:2210:22, 1 January 2022 diff hist +1 m CDC STAR-100 No edit summary
10:2210:22, 1 January 2022 diff hist +24 CDC STAR-100 The LLL bid was from c. 1964, not the early 1970s
10:2010:20, 1 January 2022 diff hist +679 Template talk:Infobox supercomputer →Add a units built parameter: new section
10:1110:11, 1 January 2022 diff hist −37 CDC STAR-100 →top: Claim is unsupported by the source, which says 5 built (not delivered or sold); AFAICR, no STAR-100 was actually sold; 2 were used internally at CDC, and 3 were delivered to users on an evaluation (non-paying) basis; & the LLL tender that resulted in the STAR-100 originally called for the resultant system to be leased

07:3307:33, 28 November 2021 diff hist −354 Vector processor →GPU vector processing features: Missed some text, see previous edit summary
07:3207:32, 28 November 2021 diff hist −988 Vector processor →GPU vector processing features: Irrelevant; this is an article about vector processors; coverage of the limited vector processing found in pre-unified compute unit GPUs is tangential here (as they are more similar to multimedia SIMD instructions); coverage of what other HW GPUs have is unwarranted
07:2607:26, 28 November 2021 diff hist −5 Vector processor →Vector processor features: Editorializing
07:2307:23, 28 November 2021 diff hist −1 Vector processor →top: Vector supercomputers did not disappear during the late 1990s; the Earth Simulator was the fastest supercomputer in the world from 2002 to 2004; vector supercomputers still exist, such as the NEC SX-Aurora
07:2007:20, 28 November 2021 diff hist +123 Vector processor Actually, later AP1000s could have an optional Fujitsu vector coprocessor that could be attached externally (it's not a part of its SPARC nodes), but the AP3000 did not

06:5606:56, 28 November 2021 diff hist +3,167 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing →Rewrite need at vector processor
06:5506:55, 28 November 2021 diff hist −136 Vector processor →Programming heterogeneous computing architectures: Remove false claim; the Fujitsu AP1000 & AP3000 are not heterogeneous multiprocessors, they are based around SPARC microprocessors, and have no vector processing capabilities
