Mainframe computers (colloquially referred to as "big iron") are computers used primarily by large organizations for critical applications, bulk data processing such as census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning and transaction processing.
The term originally referred to the large cabinets called "main frames" that housed the central processing unit and main memory of early computers. Later, the term was used to distinguish high-end commercial machines from less powerful units. Most large-scale computer system architectures were established in the 1960s, but continue to evolve.
Modern mainframe design is generally less defined by single-task computational speed (typically defined as MIPS rate or FLOPS in the case of floating point calculations), and more by:

Plot: Thrixium is the most powerful substance in the known universe. War-monger General Killgarth the Negative seeks Thrixium to power a Meta-Weapon capable of planetary destruction. A trap is laid for Killgarth; he is caught and sentenced to life imprisonment on Tiebous a pre-historic planet. Whilst on route to Tiebous the prison ship carrying Killgarth is intercepted by members of his violent horde and destroyed. An escape pod from the prison ship crash lands on Earth, Killgarth is thrown clear leaving the pilot fatally wounded inside. Meanwhile; Ben Gerick the rising star at a major city law firm keeps a secret. By day he wears smart business suits, but at home he dresses in women's clothing to take on a new persona...that of Catalina. Deciding to make his first appearance in public as Catalina, Ben witnesses the escape pod crash land. Moments before dying from his injuries the Escape Pod Pilot thrusts the real Thrixium orb into Catalina/Ben's chest thus imbuing him with incredible super powers. Soon General Killgarth the Negative realises he is in possession of a fake Thrixium orb and embarks on a vengeful journey to find Catalina...

Plot: Time and time again, Cobra has been on the threshhold of global domination, only to be thwarted by the Joes. Now the ruthless terrorist organization has a new ally, the Cobra-La race, led by Golobulus. Golobulus wants to steal the Joes' "Broadcast Energy Transmitter" in order to ripen space spores and mutate the people of Earth. When Duke is injured and the rest of the force immobilized, it's up to the new "rawhides" and Slaughter's Marauders to pick up the slack and save the world

Plot: After yet another defeat inflicted by G.I. Joe, the immediate subordinates of Cobra's leader, Cobra Commander, have finally come to the end of their patience with his apparent incompetence and his inability to achieve real victories. The leader of the research and interrogations wing, Dr. Mindbender, receives a dream showing the solution. His plan is to collect the genetic material of great warriors and military leaders to create a composite clone that would be the perfect leader for Cobra. Now they set out to put this scheme into motion, and G.I. Joe has very little time to learn of this plot before Cobra becomes that much more a dire threat to the world.

Dubbed the 'ultimate private cloud,' IBM's z13 mainframe computing system is built to tackle the impressive growth of the mobile space and can handle 2.5 billion transactions per day. TheStreet's Scott Gamm toured IBM's manufacturing facility in Poughkeepsie, New York to see how the latest generation of mainframes are built. Compared to the company's previous version, the z13 contains 300% more memory, along with a 40% increase in processing capacity and a 100% jump in bandwidth. The hardware business accounted for a significant portion, just under 11%, of IBM's total revenue in 2014.

You stole my five minutes of fame
You told me time would heal the pain
This world would bring me something new
And like a child I trusted you
One day, oh one day you lied
What you say I see in lights (Your eyes watching you)
One day, oh one day you lied
What you say I see in lights (Your eyes watching you)
Just when I saw you as a friend
I caught you laughing once again
But evenso you live and learn
So I stole seven in return
One day, oh one day you lied
What you say I see in lights (Your eyes watching you)
One day, oh one day you lied
What you say I see in lights (Your eyes watching you)
Five minutes
