somewhat related to Opel's reference to IBM/PC ...

El-Erian is discussing bimodal distribution. The Only Game in Town:
Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse (Mohamed
A. El-Erian)

loc3334-36:

Remember the dominance of IBM on the eve of the personal computer (PC)
revolution. The company had by far the most powerful brand in
technology. Each year it deployed a large R&D budget. And it was
profitable. By these metrics, it was in a very strong position to
dominate the PC revolution.

loc3336-39:

Research shows that IBM executives were aware of the “disruptive
technology” aspect of the PC. They discussed the issues involved,
recognizing the potential for a bimodal outcome for mainframe customers,
their bread-and-butter clientele. Some would be lost permanently to the
PC while others would be interested in mainframe upgrades to support new
requirements.

loc3340-41:

But when it came to implementation, IBM appeared to fall into the
“active inertia” trap. Rather than pivot decisively to the new approach,
they allowed their much more familiar historical behavior to
overinfluence their future actions.

Late 80s, a senior disk engineer gets a talk scheduled at annual,
world-wide, internal communication group conference, supposedly on 3174
performance ... but opens the talk with statement that the communication
group was going to be responsible for the demise of the disk
division. The issue was that the communication group had stranglehold on
datacenters with corporate strategic ownership of everything crossing
the datacenter walls, and were fiercely fighting off distributed
computing and client/server (trying to preserve their dumb terminal
paradigm and install base). The disk division was starting to see data
fleeing the datacenter to more distributed computing friendly platforms
with drop in disk sales. The disk division had come up with a number of
solutions to reverse the process, but were constantly being vetoed by
the communication group. some posts

Trivia: The science center had developed a lot of performance
technologies, monitoring, simulation, analytical modeling,
workload&system profiling (evolves into capacity planning), etc.
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech

One of the APL-based analytical models was enhanced and offerred on the
world-wide online sales&marketing support system HONE as "Performance
Predictor", sales support could enter workload&system profiles and ask
change "what-if" questions.

I had done dynamic adaptive resource management as undergraudate in the
60s, which was picked up and shipped in CP67. In the morph from CP67 to
VM370 there was a lot of simplification and many features were
dropped. During the FS period I continued to work on 360/370 stuff (even
periodically ridiculing FS activity). VM370 customers were lobbying for
re-introduction of my dynamic adaptive resource management and the with
the implosion of FS and the mad rush to get stuff back into the 370
product pipelines, contributed to decision to (re-)release my "Resource
Manager".
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#fairshare
and
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#futuresys

I had also developed some automated benchmarking tools that could vary
workload & configuration. As part of the release of the "Resource
Manager", 2000 automated benchmarks were run that took 3months elapsed
time. The first 1000 benchmarks were selected to methodically cover
possible workload and configuration profiles. The last 1000 benchmarks
workload&configuration profiles was selected by a modified version of
the "Performance Predictor" which was fed results of all previous
benchmarks. It would select workload/configuration, predict the results
and then compare the benchmark results with the predicted. It would also
search for optimal workload+configurations doing "hill climbing"
searching for maximums and also attempting to differentiate from "local"
maximums verses "real" maximums.  This assumes that there might be an
arbitrary number of optimal maximum solutions somewhat analogy to
multi-modal (not just bimodal) distribution.
