A Cray-1 could use a CDC, or an IBM, or a VAX, and possibly others as front

A z/16 has a maximum I/O bandwidth of 128 GBps. The limitation is no the number
of channels, but the bandwidth to memory. I don't know if the I/O bandwidth has
any impact on processor access to memory, but my understanding is that there is
little, if any.

He first said 1536 ports (not slots, not lanes) on a full z16. I asked
where he got that number. Response was there are 12 fanout slots on a

I must disagree here. This is just a different implementation of the existing z

There may be some minor omissions, but I see nothing new here.
