Harwood Kolsky gave a presentation on the various competing designs, while [[Gene Amdahl]] and [[Chen Tze-chiang]] talked about their work on the high-end 360 Model 92. Kolsky had worked at Los Alamos for seven years before joining the Stretch project, while Amdahl had left IBM after being passed over to lead Stretch development but returned to IBM Research in 1960 and joined the Project X effort.{{sfn|Smotherman|Sussenguth|Robelen|2016|p=61}} In late 1964, Amdahl took a teaching position at [[Stanford University]], wanting to return to the west coast. In January 1965 he was named an [[IBM Fellow]] for his work on the Model 92. As a Fellow, Amdahl was entitled to work at any IBM facility of his choosing and decided to join ACS at the invitation of Bob Evans.<ref name=interview>{{cite journal |journal= IEEE Design and Test of Computers |date=April 1997 |title=Interview with Gene Amdahl}}</ref>{{sfn|Smotherman|Sussenguth|Robelen|2016|p=63}}
Even at this early meeting, Amdahl made the argument that it would make much more sense to make the ACS compatible with the 360, as had been the case with Project X. While it might run marginally slower than the ACS, due largely to it using
