The System/38 [2] [3] is a discontinued minicomputer and midrange computer manufactured and sold by IBM.The system was announced in 1978. [4] The System/38 has 48-bit addressing, which was unique for the time, and a novel integrated database system.
Frank Soltis 2008. Frank Gerald Soltis (born 1940), is an American computer scientist.He joined IBM Rochester in 1969, and is most well known for his contributions to the System/38 and IBM AS/400 architectures, in particular - the design of the single-level store used in those platforms, and the RS64 processor architecture.

Control Program Facility (CPF) is the operating system of the IBM System/38. [3] CPF represented an independendent line of development at IBM Rochester, and was unrelated to the earlier and more widely used System Support Program operating system.
The IBM System/38 operating system, which introduced many advanced concepts, lives on with IBM's AS/400. Great efforts were made by IBM to enable programs originally written for the IBM System/34 and System/36 to be moved to the AS/400. After being rebranded multiple times, the AS/400 platform was replaced by IBM Power Systems running IBM i.
Launch of IBM System/360 – the first series of compatible computers, reversing and stopping the evolution of separate "business" and "scientific" machine architectures; all models used the same basic instruction set architecture and register sizes, in theory allowing programs to be migrated to more or less powerful models as needs changed.
Henry started his business career at IBM, where he worked for 21 years until 1988. [3] He was the instigator, lead architect and development manager responsible for the IBM System/32, IBM System/38 (forerunner of the IBM AS/400), and IBM RT PC (forerunner of Power systems). [4] He was appointed an IBM Fellow in 1985.
The IBM Personal Computer, commonly known as the IBM PC, spanned multiple models in its first generation (including the PCjr, the Portable PC, the XT, the AT, the Convertible, and the /370 systems, among others), from 1981 to 1987. It eventually gave way to many splintering product lines after IBM introduced the Personal System/2 in April 1987.
The Future Systems project (FS) was a research and development project undertaken in IBM in the early 1970s to develop a revolutionary line of computer products, including new software models which would simplify software development by exploiting modern powerful hardware.
