What is it about?
Hamlet asked: "To write a program or to draw a program?" Many professionals write programs while beginners prefer drawing them. From Frank and Lillian Gilbreth process chats through classical sequential flow-charts of Herman Goldstine and John von Neumann, and R-technology of Igor Velbitsky to fast and concise Sleptsov nets to answer the question to the benefit of drawing! More detailed explanations you will find in the Invited lecture "Sleptsov Net Computing" of Dmitry Zaitsev at Stony Brook University, New York, video: https://youtu.be/VyWUOJjvXuI slides: http://daze.ho.ua/snc-sbu-daze.pdf

Why is it important?
It is more easy to make a mistake when writing a program than when drawing it. When drawing, we switch on both hemispheres of our brain. It explains popularity of UML, though UML is becoming rather sophisticated with about a dozen types of diagrams. A Sleptsov net generalizes a Petri net and makes it fast for arithmetic computations. It opens prospects of drawing a concurrent program completely, having a homogenous construct, where text is considered as auxiliary comments only. A Sleptsov net program is run on a Sleptsov net processor implemented as a computing memory without traditional bottlenecks.
Perspectives
Had implemented in hardware, Sleptsov net computer achieves hyper-performance because of preserving original concurrency of the application area when programming and running programs in massively parallel way.
