Hercules is a computer emulator allowing software written for IBM mainframe computers (System/370, System/390, and zSeries/System z) and for plug compatible mainframes (such as Amdahl machines) to run on other types of computer hardware, notably on low-cost personal computers. Development started in 1999 by Roger Bowler, a mainframe systems ...
While games continued to be developed on mainframes and minicomputers through the 1970s, the rise of personal computers and the spread of high-level programming languages meant that later games were generally intended to or were capable of being run on personal computers, even when developed on a mainframe. These early games include Hamurabi ...
Baseball simulator The Sumerian Game: 1964: Mabel Addis, William McKay: The first edutainment game. Unnamed American football game [1] 1968 or before: Unknown: For the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System. One of "many games" in library of 500 programs. The Sumer Game: 1968: Doug Dyment: AKA Hamurabi: Highnoon: 1970: Christopher Gaylo: Baseball: 1971 ...
The typical ordering process of modern IBM Z mainframe looks like a buying of service [50] or looks like a leasing; [51] the mainframe is a program/hardware complex with rent for a system workload, and (in the most cases) additional system capabilities can be unlocked after additional payment.
In 2007, Hoplon and IBM jointly started the gameframe project, in which they used an IBM System z mainframe computer with attached Cell/B.E. blades (the eight-core parallel-processing chips that power Sony's PlayStation 3) to host [1] their online game Taikodom.
Watson is no mere wannabe: It won its practice round of the TV game show last month. IBM engineers designed Watson to show how computer systems can analyze and process natural language, and reach ...
In addition to the multiple versions of Hamurabi, several simulation games have been created as expansions of the core game. These include King, a.k.a. The Pollution Game (1970) by James A. Storer, [16] and Kingdom by Lee Schneider and Todd Voros, written for mainframe computers in 1972 and in BASIC in 1975, which was then expanded to Dukedom ...
IBM next-gen mainframe will be powered by the Telum II processor. Each chip features eight CPU cores, a large pool of fast cache memory, and a built-in AI accelerator meant for inferencing workloads.
