	System/360
		Unlike most systems, IBM created an entire line of computers (or CPUs) from small to large, all running the same command set.
		The cheapest model was the 360/20 with 24k of memory, only half the registers of other models and the instruction set was not binary-compatible with the rest of the range.
		The System/360 introduced a number of the standards for the industry, such as 8-bit bytes (although there was financial pressure during development to reduce the byte to 4 or 6 bits!) and byte addressable memory, 32-bit words, segmented and paged memory, the EBCDIC character set and was the first to use microcode.

	IBM Archives: System/360 Announcement
		System/360 is a single system spanning the performance range of virtually all current IBM computers - - from the widely used 1401 to nearly twice that of the most powerful computer previously built by the company.
		It is the balancing of these factors - - all available within a single system using one set of programming instructions - - that will make it possible for a user to select a configuration suited to his own requirements for both commercial and scientific computing.
		Hundreds of terminal devices can communicate simultaneously with a system while the computer continues to process the basic job on which it is working.

	360 Degree Evaluation - 360 Degree Feedback System \| Profiles International
		First, is an extensive Checkpoint 360 degree survey to provide managers with multi-rater feedback from those who observe their performance: their bosses, subordinates, and peers.
		The second part of Checkpoint is an Organizational Management Analysis System that alerts top management to potential managerial problems that can develop when managers’ goals are not in alignment with the goals of the organization.
		The Profiles SkillBuilder series rounds out the 360 degree feedback solution and is an organized management and professional development program that addresses specific managerial skills identified in the Checkpoint as needing improvement.

	IBM System/360 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The IBM 1130 was a low cost computer system based on the System/360 SLT approach, which was sometimes used as a remote job entry system for the System/360.
		Most systems were sold with a 1052 as the console typewriter.
		The first disk drives for the 360 were IBM 2311s.

	Lawrence Wilkinson's IBM 360/30 Saga.
		While the IBM 360 is of course a 32 bit machine, the Model 30 was internally an 8 bit system, so it had to do any computations four times.
		All those books in the library on 'Learning IBM 360 Assembler Language' suddenly had a great new significance, though most of my initial work was derived from the listings in the diagnostic manuals, plus the fact that the 1802 mnemonics seemed to mirror those of the 360.
		Unfortunately the whole system was designed to run to a mainframe via a modem, so access to the whole thing was via a serial link, and these were somewhat lacking on the /360.

		I believe that the term "360" was coined by IBM to express their ambition to encompass the customers' needs at a 360-degree angle.
		System installation was accomplished through sysgen, a time-consuming, difficult and tedious process performed in two stages: building the system and defining the I/O configuration.
		The two stages of a sysgen were assembling the system definition (including I/O) and assembling the output of stage 1.

	360 Degree Feedback System - 360 Feedback with Checkpoint 360 \| Profiles International
		The Profiles Checkpoint 360 Competency Feedback System is a multi-rater feedback process that provides managers and leaders with an opportunity to receive an evaluation of their job performance from the people around them – their boss, their peers, and the people whose work they supervise.
		From this feedback, managers can compare the opinions of others with their own perceptions, positively identify their strengths, and pinpoint the areas of their job performance that could be improved.
		The Checkpoint 360 Competency Feedback System is an effective managerial development system that pays big dividends in improved performance.

	The End of O.S. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		By a process known technically as "System Generation" (a variety of the biological process known as partheno-genesis, normally found only in certain insects, such as wasps), OS was able to manifest itself in a bewildering variety of shapes and sizes.
		It will be mourned by its many friends and particularly by the over 10,000 system programmers throughout the world who owe their jobs to its existance.
		Funeral arrangements have not been released by IBM, but OS is expected to lie in state in a large number of 360's and 370's for at least two years.

	IBM 360 display left
		The 9020 control system had a a 32-bit data path, 32 control switches, and dials to select the computers and channels for display and control, although the 360-65 computational units themselves had a 64-bit data path.
		The life of the FAA 9020 system extended well beyond the life span of other IBM 360 systems, which were discontinued in 1977.
		The FAA system was hard to replace because of the complexity of the Flight Control Software, and many attempts failed to achieve adequate reliability [Gary Stix: "Aging Airways"; Scientific American, May 1994, pages 96-104].

		The original 360 family was announced in 1964, and the lower midrange model 40 was the first to ship a year later.
		The advantage was that the system was very stable, and in most data centers, the workload could be structured into small jobs and big jobs.
		The resulting VM (Virtual Machine) operating system was a system programmer's ideal workshop, and turned out to be the most useful system for developing other operating systems on.

		The 360 was not just one machine, but a series of upward-compatible machines designed to span the full circle (hence the name "360") from commercial data processing to scientific applications.
		Although the /20 was called a "360," used SLT, and had the same cabinet styling, it was not a 360 in the sense of being upward-compatible with the /30, /40, etc.
		The 360/30 was intended to be the natural upgrade for accounts with a 1401 system.

		The S/360 family consisted of six compatible computers and forty peripherals in contrast to earlier IBM computers that lost their compatibility when a new model was released.
		The System/360 became a mainstay of business computing for many years with IBM fulfilling orders of 1000 systems per month.

		Interaction between 32-bit addresses and two instructions (BXH and BXLE) that treated their arguments as signed numbers (and which was said to be the reason TSS used 31-bit addressing on the S/360-67).
		Input from key initial S/360-67 sites, who had debated the alternatives during the initial system design period, and had recommended 31 bits (instead of the 32-bit design that was ultimately chosen at the time).
		Thus, operating systems have to be ported to the new architecture because the control interfaces can (and were) redefined in an incompatible way.
