Sleptsov net computing is a novel paradigm based on a completely graphical language of concurrent programming and computing-memory mass parallel hardware yielding hyper-performance and reliable verified systems, using present technology.

Motivation: The low efficiency of modern computers on a real-life mixture of tasks because of the processor-memory bottleneck, which is only partially mended by multilayer cache. After Jack Dongarra, efficiency of the supercomputer Frontier is 0.8%.
