The 360/91 was also intended to be the fastest possible computer, which
again it sort of
was, late and over budget. One thing that STRETCH and the /91 shared was
that they were
extremely complicated. STRETCH had variable sized bytes and and
addressing modes that I
never entirely figured out. The /91 had an instruction queue with loop
mode and out of
order operations and register renaming and imprecise interrupts. When
the CDC 6600 came
out, a much simpler design from a tiny company that was nonetheless
faster than the /91,
they knew they had a problem. The /95 and /195 were minor upgrades of
the /91 but that was
the end of their supercomputer efforts.
You forgot to mention /91 had a 60ns clock while 6600 had a 100 ns
clock.
Here was a case where parallelism beat out pipelining.
