IBM 7030 Console, 1961

The console of the Lab's IBM 7030 which was delivered to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in March 1961. The 7030 was IBM's response to the LARC (Livermore Advanced Research Computer) built by Remington Rand. It provided the largest memory for any machine then in use at the Laboratory. It used 72 bit words of which the last 8 bits were for Error Correction and Control. he IBM 7030, also known as Stretch, was IBM's first transistorized supercomputer. Its failure to meet its aggressive performance estimates forced its price to be dropped from $13.5 million to only $7.78 million and its withdrawal from sales to customers beyond those having already negotiated contracts. Even though the 7030 was much slower than expected, it was the fastest computer in the world from 1961 until the first CDC 6600 became operational in 1964. Stretch is considered to be one of the biggest project management failures in IT history. No photographer credited, dated 1961.

IBM 7030 Console, 1961

Traduction automatique: La console de l'IBM 7030 du laboratoire qui a été livrée au Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory en mars 1961. Le 7030 était la réponse d'IBM au LARC (Livermore Advanced Research Computer) construit par Remington Rand. Il fournissait la plus grande mémoire pour une machine alors utilisée au laboratoire. Il utilisait des mots de 72 bits dont les 8 derniers étaient destinés à la correction et au contrôle des erreurs. L'IBM 7030, également connu sous le nom de Stretch, était le premier supercalculateur transistorisé d'IBM. Son incapacité à atteindre ses estimations de performances agressives a forcé son prix à être réduit de 13,5 millions de dollars à seulement 7,78 millions de dollars et son retrait des ventes aux clients autres que ceux ayant déjà négocié des contrats. Même si le 7030 était beaucoup plus lent que prévu, il était l'ordinateur le plus rapide au monde de 1961 jusqu'à ce que le premier CDC 6600 soit opérationnel en 1964. Stretch est considéré comme l'un des plus grands échecs de gestion de projet de l'histoire de l'informatique. Aucun photographe crédité, daté de 1961
