The Cyrix 6x86 ( codename M1 ) is a sixth-generation, 32-bit 80x86-compatible microprocessor designed by Cyrix and manufactured by IBM and SGS-Thomson.

This technical leadership and the rivalry with IBM was emphasized when the Systempro server was launched in late 1989-this was a true server product with standard support for a second CPU and RAID, but also the first product to feature the EISA bus, designed in reaction to IBM's MCA ( MicroChannel Architecture ).

While working for IBM, E. F. Codd designed this structure in 1970.

The first personal computer to make use of the 80386 was designed and manufactured by Compaq and marked the first time a fundamental component in the IBM PC compatible de facto-standard was updated by a company other than IBM.

The IBM 3270 display terminal subsystem was designed and developed by IBM's Kingston, NY, laboratory ( which later closed during IBM's difficult time in the mid-1990s ).

Using the Seagram as a prototype, Mies ' office designed a number of modern high-rise office towers, notably the Chicago Federal Center, which includes the Dirksen and Kluczynski Federal Buildings and Post Office ( 1959 ) and the IBM Plaza in Chicago ; the Westmount Square in Montreal, and the Toronto-Dominion Centre in 1967.

One of its major products was the SA-10, an interface which allowed PDP-10s to be connected to disk and tape drives designed for use with the channel interfaces of IBM mainframes.

The Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries manufactured close copies of IBM mainframes during the Cold War ; the BESM series and Strela are examples of an independently designed Soviet computer.

CompuServe for one, designed its own alternative disk controller that could operate on the MASSbus, but connect to IBM style 3330 disk subsystems.

The IBM System / 360 ( announced in 1964 but not delivered until 1966 ) was designed as a common machine architecture for both groups of users, superseding all existing IBM architectures.

As the name implies, this CPU was designed for " mini " tasks, and was also used in the IBM RT-PC in 1986, which turned out to be a commercial failure.

* Nathaniel Rochester ( computer scientist ) ( 1919 – 2001 ), designed the IBM 701, wrote the first assembler and participated in the founding of the field of artificial intelligence

It was designed to be more powerful than the IBM Personal Computer, and comparable to Apple's Macintosh.

The original implementation was on an IBM 7090 at Bell Labs, Holmdel, N. J. SNOBOL4 was specifically designed for portability ; the first implementation was started on an IBM 7094 in 1966 but completed on an IBM 360 in 1967.

Clients and servers designed to pass IBM 5250 data streams over Telnet generally do support SSL encryption, as SSH does not include 5250 emulation.

The document says no, but quotes his son and then IBM President Thomas J. Watson, Jr., at the annual IBM stockholders meeting, April 28, 1953, as speaking about the IBM 701 Electronic Data Processing Machine, which it identifies as " the company's first production computer designed for scientific calculations ".

During the early 1960s, while also active in ASCII standardization, IBM simultaneously introduced in its product line of System / 360 the 8-bit Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code ( EBCDIC ), an expansion of their 6-bit binary-coded decimal ( BCDIC ) representation used in earlier card punches.

Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code ( EBCDIC ) is an 8-bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems.

The original IBM PC included five 8-bit slots, running at the system clock speed of 4. 77 MHz.

" Brooks responded " The most important single decision I ever made was to change the IBM 360 series from a 6-bit byte to an 8-bit byte, thereby enabling the use of lowercase letters.

The first IBM drive, the 350 RAMAC, was approximately the size of two refrigerators and stored 5 million 6-bit characters ( the equivalent of 3. 75 million 8-bit bytes ) on a stack of 50 discs.

Industry Standard Architecture ( ISA ) is a computer bus standard for IBM PC compatible computers introduced with the IBM Personal Computer to support its Intel 8088 microprocessor's 8-bit external data bus and extended to 16 bits for the IBM Personal Computer / AT's Intel 80286 processor.

The 8-bit bus ran at 4. 77 MHz ( the clock speed of the IBM PC and IBM PC / XT's 8088 CPU ), while the 16-bit bus operated at 6 or 8 MHz ( because the 80286 CPUs in IBM PC / AT computers ran at 6 MHz in early models and 8 MHz in later models.

The Intel 8088, released in 1979, was a slightly modified chip with an external 8-bit data bus ( allowing the use of cheaper and fewer supporting logic chips ), and is notable as the processor used in the original IBM PC.

The IBM System / 360 has a 32-bit architecture with 16 general-purpose registers, but most of the System / 360 implementations actually use hardware that implemented a much simpler underlying microarchitecture ; for example, the System / 360 Model 30 had 8-bit data paths to the arithmetic logic unit ( ALU ) and main memory and implemented the general-purpose registers in a special unit of higher-speed core memory, and the System / 360 Model 40 had 8-bit data paths to the ALU and 16-bit data paths to main memory and also implemented the general-purpose registers in a special unit of higher-speed core memory.

Fred Brooks of IBM argued strongly for going to 8-bit bytes, because someday people might want to process text ; and won.

That company adapted the PDP-10 Zork into Zork I-III, a trilogy of games for most popular small computers of the era, including the Apple II, the Commodore 64, the Commodore Plus / 4, the Atari 8-bit family, the TRS-80, CP / M systems and the IBM PC.

After 1987, IBM PC compatibles dominated both the home and business markets of commodity computers, with other notable alternative architectures being used in niche markets, like the Macintosh computers offered by Apple Inc. and used mainly for desktop publishing at the time, the aging 8-bit Commodore 64 which was selling for $ 150 by this time and became the world's best-selling computer, the 16-bit Commodore Amiga line used for television and video production and the 16-bit Atari ST used by the music industry.

For example, IBM built computers in the early 1960s with 8-bit characters, and an " upper half " of Latin I characters became common in many data networks that had formerly used 7-bit ASCII.

Multiprogramming, memory protection, generalized interrupts, the 8-bit byte were all concepts later incorporated in the IBM System / 360 line of computers as well as most later CPUs.

In 1981, Artwick was approached by Microsoft's Alan M. Boyd who was interested in creating a ' definitive game ' that would graphically demonstrate the difference between older 8-bit computers such as the Apple II and the new 16-bit computers such as the IBM PC still in development.

It was originally developed for Atari 8-bit computers in 1983, but was later ported to several other systems of the day, including the Apple II, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, IBM PC, Apple Macintosh, PC-88, and NES.

A beta test version of AIX 5L for IA-64 systems was released, but according to documents released in the SCO v. IBM lawsuit, less than forty licenses for the finished Monterey Unix were ever sold before the project was terminated in 2002.

Codd's ideas were establishing themselves as both workable and superior to Codasyl, pushing IBM to develop a true production version of System R, known as SQL / DS, and, later, Database 2 ( DB2 ).

Only Larry Ellison's Oracle started from a different chain, based on IBM's papers on System R, and beat IBM to market when the first version was released in 1978.

" FOR TRANSIT " was the name of a reduced version of the IBM 704 FORTRAN language,

Notable exceptions include IBM mainframes, which support IBM's own format ( in addition to the IEEE 754 binary and decimal formats ), and Cray vector machines, where the T90 series had an IEEE version, but the SV1 still uses Cray floating-point format.

IBM approached Digital Research in 1980, at Bill Gates ' suggestion, to negotiate the purchase of a forthcoming version of CP / M called CP / M-86 for the IBM PC.

After an interim 1. 3 version to fix up many remaining problems with the 1. x series, IBM released OS / 2 version 2. 0 in 1992.

Even though Microsoft released a cheap version of Adventure with its initial version of MS-DOS 1. 0 for IBM PCs, Zork I was still a popular seller for the PC, thanks to the superior quality of its writing and packaging.

The IBM Personal Computer, commonly known as the IBM PC, is the original version and progenitor of the IBM PC compatible hardware platform.

IBM 80286 ( 8 MHz version )

The same limitations affected Digital Research's FlexOS 286 version 1. 0, a derivation of Concurrent DOS 286, developed in 1986, introduced in January 1987, and later adopted by IBM for their IBM 4690 OS.

A version of the IBM PC called the 3270 PC, released in October 1983, included 3270 terminal emulation.

The success of this initial processor version was limited to replacing PA-RISC in HP systems, Alpha in Compaq systems and MIPS in SGI systems, though IBM also delivered a supercomputer based on this processor.
