| | IBM 7090 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The 7090 was the third member of the IBM 700/7000 series scientific computers. | | | The 7090 series featured a data channel architecture for input and output, a forerunner of modern direct memory access I/O. Up to 10 data channels could be attached. | | | It operated with a basic memory cycle of 2.18 μs, using the IBM 7302 Core Storage core memory technology from the IBM 7030 (Stretch) project. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | 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. |
