Line 2: ==History== The ACS project began in 1961 as ''Project Y'' with a goal of “building a machine that was one hundred times faster than [[IBM 7030 Stretch\|Stretch]]”.<ref name="smotherman">{{cite web \| last = Smotherman \| first = Mark \| title = IBM ACS-1 Supercomputer \| date = 2006-05-31 \| url = http://www.cs.clemson.edu/~mark/acs.html \| accessdate = 2007-02-27}}</ref> Initial work began at the [[Thomas J.

A number of significant computer pioneers contributed to the project, including [[John Cocke (computer scientist)\|John Cocke]], [[Herb Schorr]], [[Frances E.

A decision by IBM in May 1968 to modify the project to support [[IBM System/360\|S/360]] compatibility resulted in the name change from ''ACS-1'' to ''ACS-360'' for the computer being designed. At its peak, the ACS-360 project involved over 200 engineers and staff.<ref name="smotherman"/>
