#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1959, IBM delivered the IBM 7090, one of the earliest fully transistorized mainframe computers. Built as the successor to the vacuum-tube based 709, the 7090 offered dramatic improvements in speed, reliability, and power consumption. It quickly became a workhorse for science, engineering, and national research. From space-flight calculations for NASA to early work in artificial intelligence and large-scale simulation, the 7090 helped usher in the modern era of high-performance computing.
