Editing IBM Future Systems project (section)

=== Planned product lines ===
Three implementations of the FS architecture were planned: the top-of-line model was being designed in [[Poughkeepsie, NY]], where IBM's largest and fastest computers were built; the next model down was being designed in [[Endicott, New York|Endicott, NY]], which had responsibility for the mid-range computers; the model below that was being designed in [[Böblingen|Böblingen, Germany]], and the smallest model was being designed in [[Hursley|Hursley, UK]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.computing.clemson.edu/~mark/fs.html|title=Overview of IBM Future System|first=Mark|last=Smotherman}}</ref>

A continuous range of performance could be offered by varying the number of processors in a system at each of the four implementation levels.

Early 1973, overall project management and the teams responsible for the more "outside" layers common to all implementations were consolidated in the Mohansic ASDD laboratory (halfway between the Armonk/White Plains headquarters and Poughkeepsie).
