In 1951, created a small electronic accounting machine . This was followed by the first computer, the parallel machine (8–10 operations/sec). The basis for subsequent computers in the USSR, the performed highly accurate floating-point operations over a large range of values. Work resulted in increased computer productivity, as evidenced by the M-20 computer (1958). The M-20 performed 20,000 operations/sec and featured partial operation overlapping, hardware organization of cycles, parallel processor operati...
