It would be useful to see if the software architecture of Whirlwind I [1] would have a piece that was like an OS. It is about a decade earlier than the IBM 360. Also it is a realtime system that tracks incoming airborne objects. This means that paradigms like "submit a batch job" are probably not an important part of using Whirlwind.
