Generations of Computing

The Computer Era Begins: The First Generation  1950s: First Generation for hardware and software Vacuum tubes worked as memory for the machine Data written to magnetic drums and magnetic tapes Paper tape and data cards handled input  Software separates from hardware and evolves Instructions written in binary or machine code Assembly language: first layer of abstraction

Transistors in the Second Generation  Software innovations Assembly language limitations Appearance of high-level languages: FORTRAN, COBOL, LISP  Hardware development Transistor replaces vacuum tube RAM becomes available with magnetic cores Magnetic disks support secondary storage

Circuit Boards in the Third Generation  Integrated circuits (IC) on chips Miniaturized circuit components on board Semiconductor properties Reduce cost and size Improve reliability and speed  Operating systems (OS) Program to manage jobs Utilize system resources Allow multiple users

Fourth Generation  Era of miniaturization LSI chips contain up to 15,000 circuits VLSI chips contain 100,000 to 1 million circuits  Minicomputer industry grows  UNIX operating system was created Free to educational institutions  Microcomputer makes appearance

The Latest Generation (Fifth)  Parallel computing Aka parallel architecture CPUs joined for simultaneous task execution  Three approaches SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) stream MIMD (multiple instruction, multiple data) stream Internetworking  Uses Control Web pages, databases, and networks Mathematical modeling and scientific research

Early personal computers 1950 – Simon computer kit 1973 – Xerox Alto

Altair (1975)

Apple I (1976)

Apple II (1977)

IBM PC (1981)

Macintosh (1984)

Information Processing Cycle (transforming data into information) 1. Input 2. Processing 3. Output 4. Storage

All About Bits 0 and 1 0 = off 1 = on Binary Representation = Z 8 bits = 1 byte

Altair and Switches
