Abstract An overview is given of the development of computer architecture. The approaches that provide more computational power without changing the well‐known hardware technology of silicon‐based chips by developing new computer architectures are shown. Multiprocessors, dispersed networks, local networks, data‐flow systems, and highly parallel systems are discussed. Their impact on chemistry and theoretical chemistry is expected to be enormous, especially in the area of non‐numerical aspects of computing, far surpassing the present achievements.
