This preface intends to browse through the wiki pages done over the Spring 11 and Spring 12 CSC/ECE 506 courses and, taking the Solihin's FUNDAMENTALS OF PARALLEL COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE<ref>FUNDAMENTALS OF PARALLEL COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE by Solihin</ref> as a base and perusing the book Table of Content <ref>FUNDAMENTALS OF PARALLEL COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE TOC</ref> travel though the study topics and summing them up, picking up the best approaches.

This chapter includes pages on three different subjects: supercomputer comparisons, Moore's Law and MISD architectures.On the first topic, supercomputers evolution, out of the 3 pages both [5] and [6] are very similar, probably because they come from the same source ([6] actually specify what their additions were), and are both remarkable.
