The relative performance of the IBM 360 Model 75 is 50 times that of the 360 Model 30, yet the instruction cycle time is only 5 times as fast. How do you account for this discrepancy?
By comparing other components of the two IBM Machines, this discrepancy can be explained:
Therefore, based on the above mentioned considerations the IBM 360 Model 75 is better than IBM 360 model 30.
Performance of IBM machines:
An IBM 360 Model 75 is 50 times better than that of a IBM 360 model 30 because of some reasons:
• When comparing computer system not only the CPU clock rate should not be taken into account.
• Some of the features like memory system, data rate of memory, cycle time of processor, relative speed, data channels. Data rate on channels.
