Jump to user comments
computer The generic name for the CPUs and architecture
released by IBM in 1964. The 360 was marketed as a general
purpose computer with 'all round' functionality - hence 360
(degrees).
Models ranged from the 360/20 to the 360/65 and later the
360/95, with typical memory configurations from 16K to 1024K.
Elements of the architecture, such as the basic instructionset are still in use on IBM mainframes today. Associated
