Chapter 1 The Big Picture

Chapter Goals Describe the layers of a computer system Describe the concept of abstraction and its relationship to computing Describe the history of computer hardware and software Describe the changing role of the computer user Distinguish between systems programmers and applications programmers Distinguish between computing as a tool and computing as a discipline 25

Computing Systems Computing systems are dynamic! What is the difference between hardware and software? 2

Computing Systems Hardware The physical elements of a computing system (printer, circuit boards, wires, keyboard…) Software The programs that provide the instructions for a computer to execute 3

Layers of a Computing System 4

Abstraction Abstraction A mental model that removes complex details This is a key concept. Abstraction will reappear throughout the text – be sure you understand it! 5

History

Early History of Computing Abacus An early device to record numeric values Information stored in positions of beads. 6

Early History of Computing Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) Mechanical device (built in 1642) to add, subtract, divide & multiply Information stored in positions of gears. Upon cranking, rods and meshing gears transferred information 6

Early History of Computing Joseph Jacquard Jacquard’s Loom, the punched card 6

Early History of Computing Charles Babbage (1791-1871) – steam powered Analytical Engine Included 50,000 components, input device (perforated cards) containing instructions, memory (1,000 numbers), a control unit that allowed instructions to be processed in any order, and an output device. "Impression from a woodcut of a small portion of Mr. Babbage's Difference Engine No.1, the property of Government, at present deposited in the Museum at South Kensington. It was commenced 1823. This portion put together 1833. The construction abandoned 1842. This plate was printed June, 1853. This portion was in the Exhibition 1862." 6

Early History of Computing

Early History of Computing Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) (daughter of the poet Lord Byron) First Programmer Helped develop a "program" for computing a sequence of Bernoulli numbers. 7

Early History of Computing Alan Turing Turing Machine, Artificial Intelligence Testing 7

Early History of Computing Herman Hollerith (1860-1929): Hollerith Tabulator -1890 census via punch card tabulator. Estimates said it would take 8 to 9 years by hand; machine helped do it in 6 weeks. Tiny wires detected the presence or absence of holes. His company eventually became known as IBM. 7

Early History of Computing The birth of Computers Stored program computer model Proposed by John Von Neumann in 1946 Stored binary algorithm in the computer’s memory along with the data Is known as the Von Neumann architecture Modern computers remain, fundamentally, Von Neumann machines First stored program computers EDVAC EDSAC 7

Early History of Computing Harvard Mark I, ENIAC, EDVAC (1950), UNIVAC I (1951) Early computers launch new era in mathematics, physics, engineering and economics ENIAC 7

First Generation Hardware (1951-1959) Vacuum Tubes Large, not very reliable, generated a lot of heat Magnetic Drum Memory device that rotated under a read/write head Card Readers  Magnetic Tape Drives Sequential auxiliary storage devices 8

Second Generation Hardware (1959-1965) Transistor Replaced vacuum tube, fast, small, durable, cheap Magnetic Cores Replaced magnetic drums, information available instantly Magnetic Disks Replaced magnetic tape, data can be accessed directly 9

Third Generation Hardware (1965-1971) Integrated Circuits Replaced circuit boards, smaller, cheaper, faster, more reliable Transistors Now used for memory construction Terminal An input/output device with a keyboard and screen 10

Fourth Generation Hardware (1971-?) Large-scale Integration Great advances in chip technology PCs, the Commercial Market, Workstations Personal Computers and Workstations emerge New companies emerge: Apple, Sun, Dell … Laptops Everyone has his/her own portable computer 11

Parallel Computing and Networking Computers rely on interconnected central processing and/or memory units that increase processing speed Networking Ethernet connects small computers to share resources File servers connect PCs in the late 1980s ARPANET and LANs  Internet 12

First Generation Software (1951-1959) Machine Language Computer programs written in binary (1s and 0s) Assembly Languages and Translators Programs written using mnemonics, which were translated into machine language Programmer Changes Programmers divide into two groups: application programmers and systems programmers 13

Assembly/Machine Systems programmers Applications programmers write the assembler (translator) Applications programmers use assembly language to solve problems

Second Generation Software (1959-1965) High-level Languages English-like statements made programming easier: Fortran, COBOL, Lisp Systems programmers write translators for high-level languages Application use high-level languages to solve problems 14

Third Generation Software (1965-1971) Systems Software Utility programs Language translators Operating system, which decides which programs to run and when Separation between Users and Hardware Computer programmers write programs to be used by general public (i.e., nonprogrammers) 15

Third Generation Software (1965-1971) 16

Fourth Generation Software (1971-1989) Structured Programming Pascal C++ New Application Software for Users Spreadsheets Word processors Database management systems 17

Fifth Generation Software (1990- present) Microsoft Windows operating system and other Microsoft application programs dominate the market Object-Oriented Design Based on a hierarchy of data objects (i.e. Java) World Wide Web Allows easy global communication through the Internet New Users Today’s user needs no computer knowledge 18

Applications Programmer Domain-Specific Programs Computing as a Tool Programmer / User Systems Programmer (builds tools) Applications Programmer (uses tools) Domain-Specific Programs User with No Computer Background 20

Computing as a Discipline What can be (efficiently) automated? Four Necessary Skills Algorithmic Thinking Representation Programming Design 21

Computing as a Discipline What do you think? Is Computer Science a mathematical, scientific, or engineering discipline? 22

Examples of Systems Areas Algorithms and Data Structures Programming Languages Architecture Operating Systems Software Engineering Human-Computer Communication 23

Examples of Application Areas Numerical and Symbolic Computation Databases and Information Retrieval Intelligent Systems Graphics and Visual Computing Net-Centric Computing Computational Science 24

Ethical Issues The Digital Divide What is it? How does it affect you? What is computer literacy for your sister, the musician? your brother, the doctor? your sister, the kindergarten teacher? Is it important to try to bridge the digital divide?
