The Burroughs large systems were the largest of three series of Burroughs Corporation mainframe computers. Founded in the 1880s, Burroughs was the oldest continuously operating entity in computing, but by the late 1950s its computing equipment was still limited to electromechanical accounting machines such as the Sensimatic; as such it had nothing to compete with its traditional rivals IBM and NCR who had started to produce larger-scale computers, or with recently-founded Univac.

  • The Burroughs large systems were the largest of three series of Burroughs Corporation mainframe computers. Founded in the 1880s, Burroughs was the oldest continuously operating entity in computing, but by the late 1950s its computing equipment was still limited to electromechanical accounting machines such as the Sensimatic; as such it had nothing to compete with its traditional rivals IBM and NCR who had started to produce larger-scale computers, or with recently-founded Univac. The first machine, the B5000, was designed in 1961 and Burroughs sought to address its late entry in the market with the strategy of a completely different design based on the most advanced computing ideas available at the time. Computers using this architecture were still in production in 2005 as the Unisys ClearPath/MCP machines. Unisys now uses Intel Xeon processors, and run MCP, Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems on their servers.
  • Los grandes sistemas de Burroughs fueron los más grandes de tres series de computadores mainframes de Burroughs Corporation. Fundada en los años 1880, Burroughs era la más vieja entidad continuamente operando en el área de la computación, pero por finales de la década de 1950 su equipo computación todavía estaba limitado a las máquinas de contabilidad electromecánicas tales como la Sensimatic; las cuales no tenían nada para competir con sus rivales tradicionales como IBM y NCR que habían comenzado a producir computadores de mayor escala, o con la recientemente fundada UNIVAC. La primera máquina, el B5000, fue diseñada en 1961 y Burroughs buscaba resolver su tardía entrada en el mercado con la estrategia de un diseño completamente diferente basado en las más avanzadas ideas computacionales disponibles en ese tiempo. Los computadores usando esta arquitectura todavía estaban en producción en 2005 como con las máquinas ClearPath/MCP de Unisys. Ahora, Unisys usa los procesadores Intel Xeon, y corre en sus servidores los sistemas operativos MCP, Microsoft Windows y Linux.
  • バロース B5000は、バロースが1961年から設計を開始したコンピュータシリーズの名称。設計者は Robert (Bob) Barton のチーム。先進的なマシンとして知られている。コンピュータアーキテクトとして知られる John Mashey は最も素晴らしいアーキテクチャの1つに B5000 を挙げ、「私が見た中でも最も革新的なハードウェア/ソフトウェアの結合された例であり、当時としては極めて先進的だった」としている。
