  2. History of Computers The first computers were people! That is, electronic computers (and the earlier mechanical computers) were given this name because they performed the work that had previously been assigned to people. "Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the repetitive calculations required to compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications. Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And even on your best days you wouldn't be producing answers very fast. Therefore, inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize (that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task. 2 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  3. The abacus was an early aid for mathematical computations. Its only value is that it aids the memory of the human performing the calculation. A skilled abacus operator can work on addition and subtraction problems at the speed of a person equipped with a hand calculator (multiplication and division are slower). The abacus is often wrongly attributed to China. In fact, the oldest surviving abacus was used in 300 B.C. by the Babylonians. 3 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  29. Computer Processing Speed • Computer processing speed depends on a variety of factors. Three of the most important factors are: • Word length (the number of bits that can be processed at one time by the microprocessor) • Cycle Speed (how fast individual events are processed, measured in Megahertz) • Data Bus Width (determines how much data can be transferred between the CPU and memory) • Other factors Include: • RAM (amount of available random access memory) • Disk Access Speed (speed that data can be read from hard disk) • Code Efficiency (how efficiently the computer code has been designed) 31 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  30. İnput Processing Output storage. What is a computer? • The computer is anautomatic device that • performs calculations • makes decisions • hascapacity for storing • instantly recalling vastamount of information 32 32 07/26/09 Introduction toScientific & Engineering Computing

  31. What is a computer System? Software Hardware • Computer system – A collection of related components that are designed to work together. • A system includes hardware and software. 33 33 07/26/09 Introduction toScientific & Engineering Computing

  32. What is a computer? • Hardware • Processor • Memory • I/O units (Input/Output Units) 34 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  33. How does a computer work? • Executes very simple instructions. • Executes them incredibly fast. • Must be programmed: it is the software, i.e., the programs, that characterize what a computer actually does. 35 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  34. Computer Structure CPU = Central Processing Unit Input Devices Control Unit Arithmetic- Logic Unit Output Devices Main Memory External Memory Major Components of a computing system 36 07/26/09 Introduction toScientific & Engineering Computing

  35. Computer Structure Registers are a set of special high-speed memory locations within the CPU Access speed within the register is thousands of times faster than access speed in RAM MEMORY MEASUREMENT The memory unit of a computer is two-state devices. Then it is natural to use a binary scheme (using only the two binary digits {bits} 0 and 1 to represent information in a computer). Bytes = 8 Bits Memory is commonly measured in bytes, and a block of 210 = 1024 bytes = 1 K 1MB=1024 K=1024 . 210 = 210 . 210 = 220 = 1,048,576 bytes. or 220 . 23 = 223 = 8,384,608 bits. 37 07/26/09 Introduction toScientific & Engineering Computing

  36. What is a computer program? • The computer program characterizes what a computer actually does. • A program (independently of the language in which it is written) is constituted by two fundamental parts: • A representation of the information (data) relative to the domain of interest. • A description of how to manipulate the representation in such a way as to realize the desired functionality: operations. • To write a program both aspects have to be addressed. 38 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  37. Program A list of instructions that are grouped together to accomplish a task or tasks. The instructions, called machine code or assembly code consist of things like reading and writing memory, arithmetic operations, and comparisons. 39 39 07/26/09 Introduction toScientific & Engineering Computing

  38. Program • Every program must be translated into a machine language that the computer can understand. • This translation is performed by compilers, interpreters, and assemblers. • When you buy software, you normally buy an executable version of a program. • This means that the program is already in machine language -- it has already been compiled and assembled and is ready to execute. 40 07/26/09 Introduction toScientific & Engineering Computing

  39. 41 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  40. Program • While easily understood by computers, machine languages are almost impossible for humans to use because they consist entirely of numbers. • Programmers, therefore, use either a high-level programming language or an assembly language. An assembly language contains the same instructions as a machine language, but the instructions and variables have names instead of being just numbers. • Programs written in high-level languages are translated into assembly language or machine language by a compiler. Assembly language programs are translated into machine language by a program called an assembler. • Every CPU has its own unique machine language. Programs must be rewritten or recompiled, therefore, to run on different types of computers. 42 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  41. Compiler A program that translates source code into object code. The compiler derives its name from the way it works, looking at the entire piece of source code and collecting and reorganizing the instructions. Thus, a compiler differs from an interpreter, which analyzes and executes each line of source code in succession, without looking at the entire program. The advantage of interpreters is that they can execute a program immediately. Compilers require some time before an executable program emerges. However, programs produced by compilers run much faster than the same programs executed by an interpreter. 43 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  42. Source Program (High-level language)‏ Compiler Object Program (machine language)‏ Run-timeerrors Compilationerrors Steps of execution of a Fortran program Compiler Every high-level programming language (except strictly interpretive languages) comes with a compiler. In effect, the compiler is the language, because it defines which instructions are acceptable. Because compilers translate source code into object code, which is unique for each type of computer, many compilers are available for the same language. For example, there is a FORTRAN compiler for PCs and another for Apple Macintosh computers. In addition, the compiler industry is quite competitive, so there are actually many compilers for each language on each type of computer. More than a dozen companies develop and sell C compilers for the PC. 44 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  43. Interpreter • A program that executesinstructions written in a high-level language. There are two ways to run programs written in a high-level language. The most common is to compile the program; the other method is to pass the program through an interpreter. • An interpreter translates high-level instructions into an intermediate form, which it then executes. In contrast, a compiler translates high-level instructions directly into machine language. Compiled programs generally run faster than interpreted programs. The advantage of an interpreter, however, is that it does not need to go through the compilation stage during which machine instructions are generated. This process can be time-consuming if the program is long. The interpreter, on the other hand, can immediately execute high-level programs. For this reason, interpreters are sometimes used during the development of a program, when a programmer wants to add small sections at a time and test them quickly. In addition, interpreters are often used in education because they allow students to program interactively. • Both interpreters and compilers are available for most high-level languages. However, BASIC and LISP are especially designed to be executed by an interpreter. In addition, page description languages, such as PostScript, use an interpreter. Every PostScript printer, for example, has a built-in interpreter that executes PostScript instructions. 45 07/26/09 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing

  44. Programing Language A programming language that is once removed from a computer'smachine language. Machine languages consist entirely of numbers and are almost impossible for humans to read and write. Assembly languages have the same structure and set of commands as machine languages, but they enable a programmer to use names instead of numbers. Each type of CPU has its own machine language and assembly language, so an assembly language program written for one type of CPU won't run on another. In the early days of programming, all programs were written in assembly language. Now, most programs are written in a high-level language such as FORTRAN or C. Programmers still use assembly language when speed is essential or when they need to perform an operation that isn't possible in a high-level language. 46 07/26/09 Introduction toScientific & Engineering Computing
