This paper introduces a novel (non-von Neumann) paradigm of parallel computation supporting a much more efficient implementation of parallel algorithms than known from von Neumann computers. Acceleration factors of up to more than 2000 have been obtained experimentally on the MoM architecture for a number of important applications - although using a processor hardware being more simple than that of a single RISC microprocessor. The most important hardware features of xputer will be briefly introduced. By means of 2 simple algorithm examples the programming paradigm and its flexibility will be illustrated.
