The IBM 303X[Note 1] is a discontinued line of mainframe computers, the first model of which, the IBM 3033 Processor, nicknamed "The Big One", was introduced March 25, 1977.

May 7, 2009 · Introduced in 1977, the IBM 3032 Processor Complex included a dual-display console that enhanced the system’s availability.

The IBM 3032 and 3081 were standard members of the IBM range and are of less interest than the IBM 360/195 which was one of the two fastest machines in the world at the time.

The IBM 3032 was replaced by the IBM 3081D in July 1982. It had been the bridge that allowed the transition from the old dual processor 360/195 to the latest IBM system.

There was a family of three machines, the 3031, 3032 and 3033. The 3033 was the fastest IBM system at the time and the 3032 a slower and cheaper option. The basic machine cycle time …

The IBM System/370 (S/370) is a range of IBM mainframe computers announced as the successors to the System/360 family on June 30, 1970. The series mostly [a] maintains backward compatibility with the S/360, allowing an easy migration path for customers; this, plus improved performance, were the dominant themes of the product announcement.

The processor storage of the 3032 Processor employs MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Tran- sistor) technology. PERFORMANCE The 3032 Processor is capable of an instruction execution rate significantly greater than the System/3 70 158-3.

IBM 3032 The 3032 features a machine cycle time of 80 ns. It has a cache size of 32 KB. Main storage may be 2, 4, or 6 MB. One Channel Director is standard, with a second one available as an option. Usually each Director handles one byte multiplexer and five block multiplexer channels.

IBM’s 303x-serie bestod af 3 grundmodeller som kunne erhverves i flere varianter. En lidt pudsig serie af single-processor maskiner (se senere), alle luftkølede, men ellers uden det store fællesskab.
