For the principle of parallel processing of instructions, the author's certificate for invention was given to A. I. Kitov with his three colleagues on 27 June 1958. Kitov proposed to implement this principle at the CC No. 1, where it was used for the M-100, which was developed under Kitov's guidance. It was the fastest computer in the world, at one hundred thousand instructions per second. In the M-100 some of the world's first immediate access stores on ferrite cores were used. The M-100's two-level addressing of caches was an important factor in increasing its performance. Other major innovations were classified, as the whole project was secret. Kitov established a special department of mathematic for designing the M-100 computer.
