The series mostly{{efn|E.g., programs that depended on getting program interrupts for alignment errors might fail.}} maintains [[backward compatibility]] with the S/360, allowing an easy migration path for customers; this, plus improved performance, were the dominant themes of the product announcement. Early 370 systems differed from the 360 largely in their internal circuitry, moving from the [[Solid Logic Technology]] [[hybrid integrated circuit]]s containing separate transistors to more modern monolithic [[integrated circuit]]s containing multiple transistors per integrated circuit, which IBM referred to as Monolithic System Technology, or MST. The higher density packaging allowed several formerly optional features from the 360 line to be included as standard features of the machines, [[floating-point]] support for instance. The 370 also added a small number of new instructions. At the time of its introduction, the development of [[virtual memory]] systems had become a major theme in the computer market, and the 370 was considered highly controversial as it lacked this feature. This was addressed in 1972 with the System/370 Advanced Function and its associated dynamic address translation (DAT) hardware. All future machines in the lineup received this option, along with several new [[operating system]]s that supported it. Smaller additions were made throughout the lifetime of the line, which led to a profusion of models that were generally referred to by the processor number. One of the last major additions to the line in 1988 were the [[ESA/370]] extensions that allowed a machine to have multiple virtual address spaces and easily switch among them. The 370 was IBM's primary large mainframe offering from the 1970s through the 1980s. In September 1990, the System/370 line was replaced with the [[IBM System/390|System/390]]. The 390, which was based on a new [[ESA/390]] model, expanded the multiple memory concept to include full [[hardware virtualization]]{{disputed inline|Multiple operating systems|for=It was there earlier|date=April 2024}} that allowed it to run multiple operating systems at the same time. ==Evolution== The original System/370 line was announced on June 30, 1970, with first customer shipment of the Models 155 and 165 planned for February 1971 and April 1971 respectively.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_PR370.html|title=System/370 Announcement | publisher=[[IBM]]| date=June 30, 1970}}</ref> The 155 first shipped in January 1971.<ref name="Pugh91" />{{rp|643}} System/370 underwent several architectural improvements during its roughly 20-year lifetime.{{sfn|S370|loc=[http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/GA22-7000-10_370_Principles_of_Operation_Sep87.pdf#page=506 Appendix D.

All subsequent S/370 models used such memory. ===Virtual storage=== In 1972, a very significant change was made when support for virtual storage was introduced with IBM's "System/370 Advanced Function" announcement. IBM had initially (and controversially) chosen to exclude virtual storage from the S/370 line.<ref name="Pugh91">{{cite book|first=E.W.|last=Pugh |author2=L.R. Johnson |author3=John H.

The 145 microcode architecture simplified the addition of virtual storage, allowing this capability to be present in early 145s without the extensive hardware modifications needed in other models. However, IBM did not document the 145's virtual storage capability, nor annotate the relevant bits in the control registers and PSW that were displayed on the operator control panel when selected using the roller switches. The Reference and Change bits of the Storage-protection Keys, however, were labeled on the rollers, a dead giveaway to anyone who had worked with the earlier 360/67. Existing S/370-145 customers were happy to learn that they did not have to purchase a hardware upgrade in order to run DOS/VS or OS/VS1 (or OS/VS2 Release 1 – which was possible, but not common because of the limited amount of main storage available on the S/370-145). Shortly after the August 2, 1972 announcement, DAT box (address relocation hardware) upgrades for the S/370-155 and S/370-165 were quietly announced, but were available only for purchase by customers who already owned a Model 155 or 165.<ref name="S370VM">"IBM's Virtual Memory 370s," Datamation, September 1972, p.58-61</ref> After installation, these models were known as the S/370-155-II and S/370-165-II. IBM wanted customers to upgrade their 155 and 165 systems to the widely sold S/370-158 and -168.<ref>{{cite journal | author = A. Padegs | title = System/360 and Beyond | journal = IBM Journal of Research & Development | volume = 25 | issue = 5 | pages = 377–390 |date=September 1981 | publisher = IBM | doi = 10.1147/rd.255.0377}} – tables include model characteristics (Table 1) and announcement/shipment dates (Table 2). The S/370-155-II and -165-II are listed under the former but not the latter, because the upgraded systems were not formally announced as separate models. The "System/370 Advanced Function" announcement, including the -158 and -168, was the main public event.</ref> These upgrades were surprisingly expensive ($200,000 and $400,000, respectively) and had long ship date lead times after being ordered by a customer; consequently, they were never popular with customers, the majority of whom leased their systems via a third-party [[Lease|leasing]] company.<ref name="S370VM" /> This led to the original S/370-155 and S/370-165 models being described as "boat anchors". The upgrade, required to run OS/VS1 or OS/VS2, was not cost effective for most customers by the time IBM could actually deliver and install it, so many customers were stuck with these machines running MVT until their lease ended. It was not unusual for this to be another four, five or even six years for the more unfortunate ones, and turned out to be a significant factor<ref>"155, 165 Owners Angry with IBM," Datamation, August 1973, p.76-86</ref><!-- Introducing DAT box for 155&165 slowed adoption of MVS?! Quite the opposite is true: the lack of DAT box in initial 155&165 slowed MVS adoption. [But that is the point: the lack of virtual memory in the original release meant that customers were soon asked to pay for an expensive and unexpected upgrade; many said no. It was the NEED for the upgrade, rather than its availability, that caused the problem.] --> in the slow adoption of OS/VS2 MVS, not only by customers in general, but for many internal IBM sites as well. ===Subsequent enhancements=== Later architectural changes primarily involved expansions in memory (central storage) – both physical memory and virtual [[address space]] – to enable larger workloads and meet client demands for more storage. This was the inevitable trend as [[Moore's Law]] eroded the unit cost of memory. As with all IBM mainframe development, preserving [[backward compatibility]] was paramount.{{citation needed|date=October 2009}} * Operating system specific assist, Extended Control Program Support (ECPS). extended facility and extension features for OS/VS1, MVS{{efn|One of these{{sfn|S370-MVS}} is required for MVS/SE and MVS/SP * System/370 extended facility * ECPS:MVS * 3033 extension feature }} and VM.{{efn|VM/370 R2, VM/BSE, VM/SE and VM/SP exploit Virtual-Machine Assist and Shadow-Table-Bypass Assist{{sfn|S370-VM}} if they are available. }} Exploiting levels of these operating systems, e.g., MVS/System Extensions (MVS/SE), reduce path length for some frequent functions. * The Dual Address Space<ref name="dual-address-space-share-paper">{{cite conference | title = Dual Address Space & Linkage-Stack Architecture | id = Session 10446 | author = Dan Greiner | date = 12 March 2012 | conference = SHARE 118 Atlanta | url = https://share.confex.com/share/118/webprogram/Session10446.html | conference-url = https://share.confex.com/share/118/webprogram/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210114021953/https://share.confex.com/share/118/webprogram/Session10446.html | archive-date = 2021-01-14 | url-status = live }} </ref> (DAS) facility allows a privileged program to move data between two address spaces without the overhead of allocating a buffer in common storage, moving the data to the buffer, scheduling an SRB in the target address space, moving the data to their final destination and freeing the buffer.

This capability appeared later on other systems, such as the 4381 and 3090.{{sfn|S370|loc=[http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/GA22-7000-10_370_Principles_of_Operation_Sep87.pdf#page=28 Storage Addressing with Extended Address Fields]|pp=3{{hyp}}3}} * The System/370 Extended Architecture ([[S/370-XA]]), first available in early 1983 on the 3081 and 3083 processors, provided a number of major enhancements, including expansion of virtual address spaces from [[24-bit computing|24-bit]]s to [[31-bit computing|31-bit]]s, expansion of real addresses from 24 or 26 bits to 31 bits, and a complete redesign of the I/O architecture. * In February 1988, IBM announced the Enterprise Systems Architecture/370 ([[ESA/370]]) for enhanced ('''E''') 3090 and 4381 models.

The processor can run in primary-space mode or secondary-space mode. When in primary-space mode, instructions and data are fetched from the primary address space. When in secondary-space mode, operands whose addresses defined to be logical are fetched from the secondary address space; it is unpredictable whether instructions will be fetched from the primary or secondary address space, so code must be mapped into both address spaces in the same address ranges in both address spaces. The program can switch between primary-space and secondary-space mode with the SET ADDRESS SPACE CONTROL instruction; there are also MOVE TO PRIMARY and MOVE TO SECONDARY instructions that copy a range of bytes from an address range in one address space to an address range in the other address space.<ref name="GA22-7000-7">{{cite book |url=http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/GA22-7000-7_IBM_System_370_Principles_of_Operation_8th_ed_198103.pdf |title=IBM System/370 Principles of Operation |edition=Eighth |date=September 1981 |id=GA22-7000-7 |publisher=[[IBM]] |page=3{{hyp}}11-3{{hyp}}6,5{{hyp}}11-5{{hyp}}29}}</ref> Address spaces are identified by an address-space number (ASN). The ASN contains indices into a two-level table, structured similarly to a two-level page table, with entries containing a presence bit, various fields indicating permissions granted for access to the address space, the starting address and length of the segment table for the address space, and other information. The SET SECONDARY ASN instruction makes the address space identified by a given ASN value the current secondary address space.<ref name="GA22-7000-7" /> ===Extended real addressing=== The initial System/370 architecture has a 24-bit limit on physical addresses, limiting physical memory to 16 MB. Page table entries have 12 bits of page frame address with 4 KB pages and 13 bits of page frame address with 2 KB pages, so combining a 12-bit page frame address with a 12-bit offset within the page or a 13-bit page frame address with an 11-bit offset within the page produces a 24-bit physical address.{{sfn|S370|loc=[http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/GA22-7000-10_370_Principles_of_Operation_Sep87.pdf#page=51 Page-Table Entries]|pp=3{{hyp}}26}} The extended real addressing feature in System/370 raises this limit to 26 bits, increasing the physical memory limit to 64 MB.

The second column lists the principal architecture associated with each series. Many models implemented more than one architecture; thus, 308x processors initially shipped as S/370 architecture, but later offered XA; and many processors, such as the 4381, had microcode that allowed customer selection between S/370 or XA (later, ESA) operation. Note also the confusing term "System/370-compatible", which appeared in IBM source documents to describe certain products. Outside IBM, this term would more often describe systems from [[Amdahl Corporation]], [[Hitachi]], and others, that could run the same S/370 software. This choice of terminology by IBM may have been a deliberate attempt to ignore the existence of those [[plug compatible manufacturer]]s (PCMs), because they competed aggressively against IBM hardware dominance. {| class="wikitable" !

This specification does not make any assumptions on the implementation itself, but rather describes the interfaces and the expected behavior of an implementation. The architecture describes mandatory interfaces that must be available on all implementations and optional interfaces which may or may not be implemented. Some of the aspects of this architecture are: * [[Big endian]] byte ordering * One or more processors with: ** 16 32-bit General purpose [[Processor register|register]]s ** 16 32-bit Control registers ** 4 64-bit [[IBM hexadecimal floating-point|Floating-point]] registers ** A 64-bit Program status word (PSW) which describes (among other things) *** [[Interrupt]] masks *** Privilege states *** A condition code *** A 24-bit [[Program counter|instruction address]] ** Timing facilities (Time of day clock, interval timer, CPU timer and clock comparator) ** An interruption mechanism, [[Interrupt|maskable]] and unmaskable interruption classes and subclasses ** An [[instruction set]]. Each instruction is wholly described and also defines the conditions under which an exception is recognized in the form of program interruption. * A [[Primary storage|memory (called storage) subsystem]] with: ** 8 bits per byte ** A special processor communication area starting at address 0 ** Key controlled protection ** 24-bit addressing * Manual control operations that provide: ** A [[booting|bootstrap]] process (a process called Initial Program Load or IPL) ** Operator-initiated interrupts ** Resetting the system ** Basic debugging facilities ** Manual display and modifications of the system's state (memory and processor) * An Input/Output mechanism{{snd}}which does not describe the devices themselves Some of the optional features are: * A [[Virtual memory#History|Dynamic Address Translation]] (DAT) mechanism that can be used to implement a [[virtual memory]] system * [[Floating point]] instructions IBM took great care to ensure that changes to the architecture would remain compatible for unprivileged (problem state) programs; some new interfaces did not break the initial interface contract for privileged (supervisor mode) programs.

This philosophy predates the definition of the S/370 architecture and started with the S/360 architecture. If certain rules are adhered to, a program written for this architecture will run with the intended results on the successors of this architecture. <!-- One of the key aspect that allows this compatibility is to define that unused fields are to be set to a predetermined value (usually 0) - and that using another value leads to an exception condition being recognized.<ref name="370-princops-4"/>{{rp|10}} When the interface is modified, this unused field can then be used to alter the interface contract. A well formed program can then still produce the expected result even when executing on an implementation of the new interface. --> <!-- Not supported by cited reference, and certainly not true for CCW. --> Such an example is that the S/370 architecture specifies that the 64-bit PSW register bit number 32 has to be set to 0 and that doing otherwise leads to an exception. Subsequently, when the S/370-XA architecture was defined, it was stated that this bit would indicate whether the program was a program expecting a 24-bit address architecture or 31-bit address architecture. Thus, most programs that ran on the 24-bit architecture can still run on 31-bit systems; the 64-bit [[z/Architecture]] has an additional mode bit for 64-bit addresses, so that those programs, and programs that ran on the 31-bit architecture, can still run on 64-bit systems. However, not all of the interfaces can remain compatible. Emphasis was put on having non control programs (called problem state programs) remain compatible.{{sfn|S390-ESA|loc=[http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/dz9ar008.pdf#page=45 Section 1.3.2.2 Problem-State Compatibility]|pp=1-13{{snd}}1-14}} Thus, operating systems have to be ported to the new architecture because the control interfaces can (and were) redefined in an incompatible way. For example, the I/O interface was redesigned in S/370-XA making S/370 program issuing I/O operations unusable as-is. ==S/370 replacement== IBM replaced the System/370 line with the [[IBM System/390|System/390]] in the 1990s, and similarly extended the architecture from ESA/370 to ESA/390. This was a minor architectural change, and was upwards compatible. In 2000, the System/390 was replaced with the [[IBM System z|zSeries]] (now called IBM Z). The zSeries mainframes introduced the 64-bit [[z/Architecture]], the most significant design improvement since the 31-bit transition.{{citation needed|date=October 2009}} All have retained essential backward compatibility with the original S/360 architecture and instruction set. ==GCC and Linux on the S/370== The [[GNU Compiler Collection]] (GCC) had a [[compiler back-end|back end]] for S/370, but it became obsolete over time and was finally replaced with the S/390 backend. Although the S/370 and S/390 instruction sets are essentially the same (and have been consistent since the introduction of the S/360), GCC operability on older systems has been abandoned.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html#obsolete_systems|title=Removed architectures and systems removed from GCC 3.4}}</ref> GCC currently works on machines that have the full instruction set of System/390 Generation 5 (G5), the hardware platform for the initial release of [[Linux on IBM Z|Linux/390]]. However, a separately maintained version of GCC 3.2.3 that works for the S/370 is available, known as GCCMVS.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gccmvs.sourceforge.net|title=GCCMVS (GCC 3.2.3 for S/370)}}</ref> ==I/O evolutions== ===I/O evolution from original S/360 to S/370=== {{main article|IBM System/360#Channels}} The block multiplexer channel, previously available only on the 360/85 and 360/195, was a standard part of the architecture. For compatibility it could operate as a selector channel.{{sfn|S370|loc=[http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/GA22-7000-10_370_Principles_of_Operation_Sep87.pdf#page=356 Programming Note]|p=13-5}} Block multiplexer channels were available in single byte (1.5 MB/s) and double byte (3.0 MB/s) versions. ===I/O evolution since original S/370=== As part of the DAT announcement, IBM upgraded channels to have Indirect Data Address Lists (IDALs). a form of I/O MMU. Data streaming channels had a speed of 3.0 MB/s over a single byte interface, later upgraded to 4.5 MB/s. Channel set switching allowed one processor in a multiprocessor configuration to take over the I/O workload from the other processor if it failed or was taken offline for maintenance. System/370-XA introduced a channel subsystem that performed I/O queuing previously done by the operating system. The System/390 introduced the [[ESCON]] channel, an [[optical fiber]], [[half-duplex]], [[Serial communications|serial]] channel with a maximum distance of 43 kilometers. Originally operating at 10 Mbyte/s, it was subsequently increased to 17 Mbyte/s. Subsequently, [[FICON]] became the standard IBM mainframe channel; FIbre CONnection (FICON) is the IBM proprietary name for the [[ANSI]] FC-SB-3 Single-Byte Command Code Sets-3 Mapping Protocol for [[Fibre Channel]] (FC) protocol used to map both IBM's antecedent (either [[ESCON]] or parallel Bus and Tag) channel-to-control-unit cabling infrastructure and protocol onto standard FC services and infrastructure at data rates up to 16 Gigabits/sec at distances up to 100 km. [[Fibre Channel Protocol]] (FCP) allows attaching SCSI devices using the same infrastructure as FICON. ==See also== * [[Hercules emulator]] * [[IBM System/360]] * [[IBM System/370-XA]] * [[IBM ESA/390]] * [[IBM System z]] * [[PC-based IBM-compatible mainframes]] ==Notes== {{notelist}} ==References== ;'''S370-1st''' :{{cite book | title = IBM System/370 Principles of Operation | id = A22-7000-0 | date = June 1970 | edition = First | url = http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/GA22-7000-0_370_Principles_Of_Operation_Jun70.pdf | ref = {{sfnref|S370-1st}} | publisher = IBM }} ;'''S370''' :{{cite book | title = IBM System/370 Principles of Operation | id = A22-7000-10 | date = September 1987 | edition = Eleventh | url = http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/GA22-7000-10_370_Principles_of_Operation_Sep87.pdf | ref = {{sfnref|S370}} | publisher = IBM }} ;'''S370-MVS''' :{{cite book | title = IBM System/370 Assists for MVS | id = GA22-7079-1 | date = October 1981 | edition = Second | url = http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/MVS/GA22-7079-1_IBM_System_370_Assists_for_MVS_Oct81.pdf | ref = {{sfnref|S370-MVS}} | publisher = IBM }} ;'''S370-VM''' :{{cite book | title = Virtual-Machine Assist and Shadow-Table-Bypass Assist | id = GA22-7074-0 | date = May 1980 | edition = First | url = http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/VM/370/GA22-7074-0_Virtual-Machine_Assist_and_Shadow-Table-Bypass_Assist_May80.pdf | ref = {{sfnref|S370-VM}} | publisher = IBM | access-date = 2024-09-19 }} ;'''S370-XA-1st''' :{{cite book | url = http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/SA22-7085-0_370-XA_Principles_of_Operation_Mar83.pdf | title = IBM System/370 Extended Architecture Principles of Operation | id = SA22-7085-0 | date = March 1983 | ref = {{sfnref|S370-XA-1st}} | publisher = IBM }} ;'''S370-XA''' :{{cite book | title = IBM System/370 Extended Architecture Principles of Operation | id = SA22-7085-1 | date = January 1987 | edition = Second | url = http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/SA22-7085-1_370-XA_Principles_of_Operation_Jan87.pdf | ref = {{sfnref|S370-XA}} | publisher = IBM }} ;'''S370-ESA''' :{{cite book | title = IBM Enterprise Systems Architecture/370 Principles of Operation | id = SA22-7200-0 | date = August 1988 | edition = First | url = http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/SA22-7200-0_370-ESA_Principles_of_Operation_Aug88.pdf | ref = {{sfnref|S370-ESA}} | publisher = IBM }} ;'''S/390-ESA''' :{{cite book | title = IBM Enterprise Systems Architecture/390 Principles of Operation | id = SA22-7201-08 | date = June 2003 | edition = Ninth | url = http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/dz9ar008.pdf | ref = {{sfnref|S390-ESA}} | publisher = IBM | access-date = 2021-01-01 | archive-date = 2023-01-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230129050211/http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/dz9ar008.pdf | url-status = dead }} ;SIE :{{cite book | title = IBM System/370 Extended Architecture Interpretive Execution | id = SA22-7095-0 | date = January 1984 | edition = First | url = http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/MVS_XA/SA22-7095-0_370-XA_Interpretive_Execution_Jan84.pdf | ref = {{sfnref|SIE}} | publisher = IBM }} {{reflist}} ==Further reading== * {{cite book | last1 = Prasad | first1 = N.S. | title = IBM Mainframes | date = 1989 | publisher = McGraw-Hill | isbn = 0070506868 | url-access = registration | url = https://archive.org/details/ibmmainframesarc00pras}} {{mdash}} Chapter 4 (pp. 111{{ndash}}166) describes the System/370 architecture; Chapter 5 (pp. 167{{ndash}}206) describes the System/370 Extended Architecture. ==External links== * [http://www.hercules-390.eu/ Hercules System/370 Emulator] A software implementation of IBM System/370 {{IBM System/370 line}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ibm System 370}} [[Category:IBM System/360 mainframe line| 370]] [[Category:Computing platforms]] [[Category:Computer-related introductions in 1970]] [[Category:1990s disestablishments]] [[Category:32-bit computers]]
