The IBM AP-101 is an avionics computer, used most notably in the U.S. Space Shuttle, but also in the B-52 and F-15, among others. When it was designed, it was a high-performance pipelined processor with core memory. Today, its specifications are exceeded by many microprocessors. It remains in service (particularly on the space shuttle) because it works and is flight-certified, whereas a new certification would be too expensive. The Space Shuttle AP-101s have been augmented by glass cockpit technology.
