| | IBM 704 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The IBM 704, the first mass-produced computer with floating point arithmetic hardware, was introduced by IBM in April, 1954. | | | IBM stated that the device was capable of executing up to 40,000 instructions per second. | | | The new instruction set became the base for the IBM 700/7000 series scientific computers. |

| | IBM Archives: 7090 Data Processing System |
| | The 7090 is well-suited for IBM Tele-processing, which in its most advanced form uses a powerful computer as the data processing center of a network of decentralized plant and office input stations. | | | The IBM 7090 can use many programs (sets of instructions) already developed for the IBM 709 as well as hundreds of programs developed for the IBM 704. | | | Although the IBM 7090 is a general purpose data processing system, it is designed with special attention to the needs of engineers and scientists, who find computation demands increasing rapidly. |
