At a cost to IBM of an estimated $5 billion, the System/360 represented the transition to the Third Generation of mainframe computers, traumatized IBM’s customers, and sent IBM’s competitors scrambling for survival.
The S/360: - IBM
The revolutionary S/360 could perform both types of computing, as long as the customer, a software company, or a consultant provided the programs to do so. In fact, the name S/360 refers to the architecture's wide scope: 360 degrees to cover the entire circle of possible uses.
IBM System/360 Model 91 - Wikipedia
The IBM System/360 Model 91 was announced in 1964 as a competitor to the CDC 6600. [1] Functionally, the Model 91 ran like any other large-scale System/360, but the internal organization was the most advanced of the System/360 line, and it was the first IBM computer to support out-of-order instruction execution. [2] It ran OS/360 as its ...
