Topic: IBM 1620 II


  
  IBM Archives: 1620 Data Processing System
The IBM 1620 was a general-purpose, stored-program data processing system for small businesses, research and engineering departments of large companies, and schools requiring solutions to complex problems in the areas of engineering, research, and management science.
With the 1711 model 2 and 1712 Multiplexer and Terminal Unit connected to the 1620, the computer not only received data from analog measuring devices, but fed results through the 1711/1712 to control processes by closing contacts which completed circuits to the instrumentation for closed-loop process control.
1620 symbolic language allowed the programmer to refer to instructions and data in the program by name or other meaningful designation without regard to their location in the machine to facilitate relocating sections of programs, incorporating subroutines, and inserting or deleting instructions.

Other IBM circuit types used were referred to as: Alloy (some logic, but mostly various non-logic functions, named for the kind of transistors used), CTRL (another type of RTL, but slower than SDTRL), CTDL (a type of diode-transistor logic (DTL)), and DL (another type of RTL, named for the kind of transistor used, "drift" transistors).
Work was begun on a 1620 Model III in year-TBD, but the project was quickly canceled as IBM wanted to promote sales of their new System/360 and discontinue the old lines.
The IBM 1620 Model I was the original implementation of the IBM 1620 scientific computer, introduced in 1959.

IBM could only build one of the two and the Poughkeepsie proposal won because "the San Jose version is top of the line and not expandable, while your proposal has all kinds of expansion capability - never offer a machine that cannot be expanded".
Following announcement of the IBM 1620 on October 22, 1959, due to an internal reorganization of IBM, it was decided to transfer the computer from the Data Processing Division at Poughkeepsie (large scale mainframe computers only) to the General Products Division at San Jose (small computers and support products only) for manufacturing.

 IBM 1710
The IBM 1710 was a process control system that IBM marketed in the early 1960s.
It used either a 1620 I or a 1620 II Computer and specialized I/O devices (e.g., IBM 1711 A/D and D/A Converter, IBM 1712 Discrete I/O and Analog Multiplexer, factory floor operator control panels).
The IBM 1620 used in the 1710 system was modified in several ways, the most obvious was the addition of a very primitive hardware interrupt mechanism.

Although the IBM 1620's architecture was very popular in the scientific and engineering community, computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra pointed out several flaws in its design in EWD37, "A review of the IBM 1620 data processing system" (see http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/index00xx.html at the Dijkstra archive at the University of Texas).
These flaws (and similar ones in other machines) may have caused IBM's decline, which started in the 1960s, as a serious competitor in scientific computing, opening up a market which led to the development of the DEC PDP-8.

Modified versions of the 1620 were used as the CPU of the IBM 1710 and IBM 1720 Industrial Process Control Systems (making it the first computer considered reliable enough for real-time process control of factory equipment).
The successor to the 1620, the IBM 1130 was based on a totally different, 16-bit binary architecture.
However usage of the term Trigger was retained in all the documentation when referring to a flip-flop, as it was IBM's conventional term (as alphamerics was their term for alphanumerics).

 IBM 1620 Definition. Define IBM 1620. What is IBM 1620?
Because the 1620 was popular with colleges, IBM ran a clearing house of software for a nominal cost such as {Snobol}, {COBOL}, chess games, etc. The model II, released about three years later, could add and subtract without tables.
Some of the model I's options were standard on the model II, like {indirect addressing} and the {console} {teletype} changed from a model C to a {Selectric}.
1620 consoles were used as props to represent {Colossus} in the film "The Forbin Project", though most of the machines had been scrapped by the time the film was made.

 CSD Annual Report and Planning Document    99-2000
UNB's first IBM computer, a 1620 Model II acquired in 1964, was followed by an exclusive succession of IBM System /360, /370 and /390 architecture processors, which together spanned the 36-year period, 1964 to 2000.
Wasson in 1964, UNB raised a significant part of the financing for its first IBM mainframe by negotiating a "computing partnership" with NBEPC which contributed 40% of the cost of the 1620 in return for prepaid service at privileged processing rates over the life of the machine.
Strengths of the IBM mainframe were (and still are): highly reliable hardware and operating systems, top-notch security, multiple high-speed channels, convenient job scheduling, processing and output control, excellent timesharing vs batch cpu resource control, automated DASD management of myriads of datasets comprising huge amounts of storage; and, the versatility of automated operations.
