Abstract
Computers have become a basic tool in physics over the past two decades. The 4th generation of computers available since the beginning of the eighties has increased the number of problems accessible to investigation considerably and experience with these systems is now available. The 5th generation of computers being discussed at present and expected to be available in the early nineties will certainly have an impact on physics hardly predictable.
