WOW! IPC, instructions per cycle? Sure, back in those days, usually how many cycles per instruction! The 360/91 was a high end thing, said to cost $13 million. One was at the Navy lab, JHU.APL. As I recall, it could do 1 floating point (32 or 64 bits?) instruction per cycle and sometimes 3 in 2 cycles.
