The IBM 7090 was a second-generation transistorized version of the earlier IBM 709 vacuum tube mainframe computers and was designed for "large-scale scientific and technological applications".
An IBM7040 in operation from 1964 to 1974 at the German university Technische Hochschule Darmstadt The IBM7040, a scaled down version of the IBM 7090 introduced by IBM in April, 1963, was a later member of the IBM 700/7000 series of scientific computers.
IBM 729s in action The IBM 729 Magnetic Tape Unit was IBMs iconic tape mass storage system from the late 1950s through the mid 1960s.
Although the IBM 7090 is a general purpose data processing system, it is designed with special attention to the needs of engineers and scientists, who find computation demands increasing rapidly.
Four IBM 7090 systems are incorporated in the Air Force's Ballistic Missile Warning System, the 3,000-mile radar system in the far north designed to detect missiles fired at southern Canada or the United States from across the polar region.
The 7090 is well-suited for IBM Tele-processing, which in its most advanced form uses a powerful computer as the data processing center of a network of decentralized plant and office input stations.
Объединение серверов pSeries 655 в кластерное решение Cluster 1600, базирующееся на более чем десятилетнем опыте IBM в технологиях управления кластерами, предоставляет широкие возможности администрирования при значительном сокращении затрат.
Поддержка этих стандартов в промежуточном ПО IBM, включая СУБД DB2® Universal Database™, позволяет компаниям не замыкаться на одной-единственной платформе по мере роста бизнеса, предоставляя возможности для развертывания информационных систем наиболее экономически эффективными средствами.
В кластерной конфигурации стойка серверов pSeries 655 фактически представляет собой самую мощную, гибкую и управляемую UNIX-систему высшего класса, выпускаемую IBM в настоящее время, - систему, способную удовлетворить потребности заказчиков в высокопроизводительных вычислительных ресурсах сегодня и в будущем.
The IBM 7090/94 series was the most popular family of large second-generation transistorized mainframe computers and was designed for "large-scale scientific and technological applications".
By 1965, over 300 IBM 7090/94 systems had been installed with an average purchase price of about $3-million (most were rented from IBM for about $70,000 per month or for about $450,000 per month in today's money as adjusted for inflation).
High-end systems would typically employ an IBM 7040/44 computer that would be directly coupled to the 7090/94 and would be dedicated to high-speed processing of card readers and line printers.

In addition to the 7040, the University will retain the small IBM 1620 and the medium class IBM 1410 which are now in the basement of McVey Hall.
The new system includes an IBM 1401 to prepare the input data and to print the results produced by the 7040.
During the month of January 1964, when the IBM 1410 was used an average of 15 hours per day, 56 percent of all jobs were returned to the user in less than 12 hours.
IBM must be contacted to schedule pickup of the Replaced Machines no later than 90 calendar days following the Date of Installation of an eligible new Replacement Machine.
IBM reserves the right to modify or withdraw this promotion at any time.
IBM will not pay for shipping costs if any other means of return is used.
But it was not until 1965 when mathematicians at the University of Waterloo in Canada finally found the complete solution.
It took over seven and a half hours of computation on an IBM7040 computer.
In 1965, H. Williams, R. German, and C. Zarnke at the University of Waterloo in Canada used an IBM7040 computer to crack the problem once and for all.

The University of Kentucky Computing Center(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The IBM 650 at the University of Kentucky, circa 1960, and the IBM 1410, circa 1963.
The IBM 650 was replaced by an IBM 1401 in 1962, upgraded to an IBM 1410 later that year, and augmented by an IBM7040 installed in 1964.
This was replaced in 1967 with an IBM System/360 model 50 which included 256 kilobytes of core memory and six disk drives with a total of 40 megabytes of storage.
IBM 3270 from FOLDOC(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
A class of terminals known as Display Devices, normally used to talk to IBM mainframes.
The 3270 attempts to minimise the number of I/O interrupts required by accepting large blocks of data, known as datastreams, in which both text and control (or formatting functions) are interspersed allowing an entire screen to be "painted" as a single output operation.
A version of the IBM PC called the "3270 PC" was released in October 1983.
WATFOR's Silver Anniversary(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The compiler was initially developed for the IBM7040 computer in the summer of 1965 by four undergraduate students.
Similar research experiments were carried on at the University of Wisconsin (FORGO on the IBM 1620) and Purdue University (PUFFT on the IBM 7090).
Since the original implementation, WATFOR has been developed to run on the IBM 360/370, DEC PDP-11 and VAX series of computers to take advantage of structured programming concepts, interactive debugging and character variables.
