On April 26, 1960, IBM introduced the STRETCH supercomputer—officially known as the IBM 7030. At the time, it was the fastest computer in the world, capable of an astonishing 100 billion computations per day. Built for top-secret government research, STRETCH marked a massive leap in computing power and helped lay the groundwork for future supercomputers.
