Editing IBM Rochester (section)

The mile-long facility is best known as the plant that produced the AS/400 computer system. The AS/400 system was itself an advancement of the System/38 that was introduced several years earlier with an inbuilt Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS) making it leading edge for its time. The AS/400 was later rebranded as the iSeries. Development of the OS/400 operating system, now known as [[IBM i]], continues at Rochester.

The [[IBM 3740]] Data Entry System was developed at the facility in 1973 and the follow-on [[IBM 5280]] Distributed Data System had its beginnings there, but was transferred in 1981 to the Austin, TX facility, where it was released for production. The advent of personal computing swallowed up this type of data entry by 1990.

The [[IBM 5110]] personal computer was developed and manufactured in the facility.

IBM Rochester was important to the [[Summit (supercomputer)|Summit]] and [[Sierra (supercomputer)|Sierra]] supercomputers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.postbulletin.com/news/heard_on_the_street/heard-on-the-street-ibm-rochester-supercomputers-remain-top-two/article_bfcdd0d0-9203-11e9-8b6f-6349006dffd6.html|title=Heard on the Street: IBM Rochester supercomputers remain top two fastest in the world|last=Kiger|first=Jeff|website=PostBulletin.com|date=June 19, 2019|language=en|access-date=August 19, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.postbulletin.com/news/local/rochester-team-helps-ibm-create-world-s-fastest-computer/article_97600b72-749f-11e8-aeea-abe31634e1c1.html|title=Rochester team helps IBM create world's fastest computer|last=Kiger|first=Jeff|website=PostBulletin.com|date=June 26, 2018|language=en|access-date=August 19, 2019}}</ref>
