The IBM System/360 Model 22 was an IBM mainframe from the System/360 line.

History

The Model 22 was a cut-down (economy) version[NB 1] of the Model 30 computer, aimed at bolstering the low end of the range.

The 360/22 was announced less than a year after the June 22, 1970[1] withdrawal of the 360/30, and it lasted six and a half years, from April 7, 1971, to October 7, 1977.

Notes

  1. ^ IBM description: "... small-system economy. It provided an economical way for users to..."
  2. ^ Performance calculated (not measured) based on a mix of instructions typical of scientific applications ("Gibson Mix") with the results in kilo Instructions Per Second (kIPS) per Longbottom, Roy. "Computer Speeds From Instruction Mixes - pre-1960 to 1971". Retrieved October 12, 2014. except for M95 and M195. The latter based upon estimates of performance relative to M65 from Pugh.
  3. ^ using commercial instruction mix ("ADP Mix")
  4. ^ K=1,024
  5. ^ Lower case "M"
  6. ^ Note: The DC30 was added in the second/FASTER iteration of the 360/30
  7. ^ by comparison, the initial offering of the 360/30 included FOUR models: 8K, 16K, 32K, 64K
