  abstract =     "The IBM 3090 processor implementation of the
                 System\slash 370 Vector Architecture represents a major
                 new system design for engineering and scientific
                 processing, featuring both scalar and vector capability
                 in a uniprocessor and in a dyadic and four-way parallel
                 processing environment. The history of large-scale
                 scientific processing is reviewed, leading to a
                 statement of current requirements. The design
                 objectives for scalar, parallel, and vector
                 capabilities are identified, followed by a summary of
                 the resulting 3090 features. Selected highlights of the
                 vector hardware are given, followed by a summary of the
                 supporting software. The paper concludes with a
                 discussion of performance, beginning with the
                 identification of suitable applications. An example is
                 given of one application utilizing each of the three
                 capabilities: scalar, parallel, and vector. Several of
                 the most important performance parameters are
                 identified.",
