Abstract
The hardware, system software and Scientific application examples with rela tive performances are reported for the ICAP-1, ICAP-2, ICAP-3 and ICAP-3090 experimental systems, with emphases on motivation, strategy and accomplish ments. These pioneering efforts are considered in the light of future large -scale computational applications, which will require parallel super comput ing power and also a new outlook to computational models.
