Join Dave Plummer for a deep dive into the fascinating story of the IBM 7030 "Stretch"—the revolutionary supercomputer that pushed the boundaries of technology in the 1950s and 60s. Tasked initially by nuclear physicist Edward Teller to perform complex nuclear simulations, IBM set out on an ambitious mission: build a machine capable of millions of instructions per second when the fastest computers of the day managed just thousands.
