> 360 and it's successors were not that big in scientific computing

I do believe that is true.

IBM did have the Model 90 series, which was on the way to being a supercomputer.

Bur during that time CDC with the 6400/6600 etc was likely bigger in scientific computing.




The 360 played a pivotal role in the Apollo program.
