41 ;;Quote: vector supercomputers are good for heavily used, vectorized codes that require high speed and large, primary memories
43 ;;Quote: in general, efficient vectorization is easier to achieve than efficient parallelism; should be attempted first
43 ;;Quote: vectorization is prevented by recursion, subroutine calls, I/O, loop exits, etc.
44 ;;Quote: the limiting factor for nonvectorized code is reading operands from memory; makes workstations comparable to supercomputers
