note error in the above ... it was done at the palo alto science center
(not los gatos lab) ... trivia: palo alto science center also did the
370/145 APL microcode assist (roughly ran apl applications at throughput
of 370/168 w/o microcode). topic drift ... nearly all low & mid range
360s & 370s implemented in native microcode in avg ten native microcode
instructions per 360/370 instruction. other drift: I had part of Los
Gatos wing with offices and labs.

similar but different, not far from palo alto science center (on page
mill), SLAC (on sandhill, in combination with CERN) did 168E in late
70s... hardware processor that implement problem state 370 for fortran
program execution with throughput of 370/168 ... placing at sensors
along the accelerator for initial data reduction.  then in the early
80s, replaced/upgraded with 3081E
