Text of the page (random words):
the early 1970s rca sold out to univac and ge sold its business to honeywell between 1986 and 1990 honeywell was bought out by bull univac became a division of sperry which later merged with burroughs to form unisys corporation in 1986 in 1984 estimated sales of desktop computers 11 6 billion exceeded mainframe computers 11 4 billion for the first time ibm received the vast majority of mainframe revenue 26 during the 1980s minicomputer based systems grew more sophisticated and were able to displace the lower end of the mainframes these computers sometimes called departmental computers were typified by the digital equipment corporation vax series in 1991 at t corporation briefly owned ncr during the same period companies found that servers based on microcomputer designs could be deployed at a fraction of the acquisition price and offer local users much greater control over their own systems given the it policies and practices at that time terminals used for interacting with mainframe systems were gradually replaced by personal computers consequently demand plummeted and new mainframe installations were restricted mainly to financial services and government in the early 1990s there was a rough consensus among industry analysts that the mainframe was a dying market as mainframe platforms were increasingly replaced by personal computer networks infoworld s stewart alsop predicted that the last mainframe would be unplugged in 1996 in 1993 he cited cheryl currid a computer industry analyst as saying that the last mainframe will stop working on december 31 1999 27 a reference to the anticipated year 2000 problem y2k that trend started to turn around in the late 1990s as corporations found new uses for their existing mainframes and as the price of data networking collapsed in most parts of the world encouraging trends toward more centralized computing the growth of e business also dramatically increased the number of back end transactions processed by mainframe software as well as the size and throughput of databases batch processing such as billing became even more important and larger with the growth of e business and mainframes are particularly adept at large scale batch computing another factor currently increasing mainframe use is the development of the linux operating system which arrived on ibm mainframe systems in 1999 linux allows users to take advantage of open source software combined with mainframe hardware ras rapid expansion and development in emerging markets particularly people s republic of china is also spurring major mainframe investments to solve exceptionally difficult computing problems e g providing unified extremely high volume online transaction processing databases for 1 billion consumers across multiple industries banking insurance credit reporting government services etc in late 2000 ibm introduced 64 bit z architecture acquired numerous software companies such as cognos and introduced those software products to the mainframe ibm s quarterly and annual reports in the 2000s usually reported increasing mainframe revenues and capacity shipments however ibm s mainframe hardware business has not been immune to the recent overall downturn in the server hardware market or to model cycle effects for example in the 4th quarter of 2009 ibm s system z hardware revenues decreased by 27 year over year but mips millions of instructions per second shipments increased 4 per year over the past two years 28 alsop had himself photographed in 2000 symbolically eating his own words death to the mainframe 29 in 2012 nasa powered down its last mainframe an ibm system z9 30 however ibm s successor to the z9 the z10 led a new york times reporter to state four years earlier that mainframe technology hardware software and services remains a large and lucrative business for i b m and mainframes are still the back office engines behind the world s financial markets and much of global commerce 31 as of 2010 update while mainframe technology represented less than 3 of ibm s revenues it continue d to play an outsized role in big blue s results 32 ibm has continued to launch new generations of mainframes the ibm z13 in 2015 33 the z14 in 2017 34 35 the z15 in 2019 36 and the z16 in 2022 the latter featuring among other things an integrated on chip ai accelerator and the new telum microprocessor 37 differences from supercomputers edit a supercomputer is a computer at the leading edge of data processing capability with respect to calculation speed supercomputers are used for scientific and engineering problems high performance computing which crunch numbers and data 38 while mainframes focus on transaction processing the differences are mainframes are built to be reliable for transaction processing measured by tpc metrics not used or helpful for most supercomputing applications as it is commonly understood in the business world the commercial exchange of goods services or money a typical transaction as defined by the transaction processing performance council 39 updates a database system for inventory control goods airline reservations services or banking money by adding a record a transaction may refer to a set of operations including disk read writes operating system calls or some form of data transfer from one subsystem to another which is not measured by the processing speed of the cpu transaction processing is not exclusive to mainframes but is also used by microprocessor based servers and online networks supercomputer performance is measured in floating point operations per second flops 40 or in traversed edges per second or teps 41 metrics that are not very meaningful for mainframe applications while mainframes are sometimes measured in millions of instructions per second mips although the definition depends on the instruction mix measured nb 5 examples of integer operations measured by mips include adding numbers together checking values or moving data around in memory while moving information to and from storage so called i o is most helpful for mainframes and within memory only helping indirectly floating point operations are mostly addition subtraction and multiplication of binary floating point in supercomputers measured by flops with enough digits of precision to model continuous phenomena such as weather prediction and nuclear simulations only recently standardized decimal floating point not used in supercomputers are appropriate for monetary values such as those useful for mainframe applications in terms of computational speed supercomputers are more powerful 42 mainframes and supercomputers cannot always be clearly distinguished up until the early 1990s many supercomputers were based on a mainframe architecture with supercomputing extensions an example of such a system is the hitac s 3800 which was instruction set compatible with ibm system 370 mainframes and could run the hitachi vos3 operating system a fork of ibm mvs 43 the s 3800 therefore can be seen as being both simultaneously a supercomputer and also an ibm compatible mainframe in 2007 44 an amalgamation of the different technologies and architectures for supercomputers and mainframes has led to a so called gameframe see also edit channel i o cloud computing commodity computing computer types failover gameframe history of ibm mainframe operating systems list of transistorized computers master the mainframe contest timeline of operating systems notes edit some had been introduced in the 1960s but their deployment became more common in the 1970s graphics terminals were available but tended to be restricted to niche applications e g the ibm 709 had channels in 1958 sometimes computers sometimes more limited resource consumption for billing and performance purposes is measured in units of a million service units msus but the definition of msu varies from processor to processor so that msus are useless for comparing processor
