Computer Definition • A Computer is a devicethat is capable of solving problems or manipulating data by accepting data as input, performing prescribed operations both mathematical and logical on the data, and then supplying the results of these operations. • A Computer (Computer System) denotes a set of computer hardware and computer software that is used as a single unit.
Computer History • First Generation (1940s to 1959): Vacuum tubes • Second Generation (1950s-65): Transistors • Third Generation (late 1950s -71): Integrated Circuits • Fourth Generation (1971-Present): Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) • Fifth Generation (1981-2000): VLSI Japanese 5th-Generation Computer Project • Sixth Generation (From 1980s): Artificial Neural Networks
1st Generation Computing(1945-1955) • Mostly hard wired vacuum tube machines • 1 user and 1 task • different binary-coded program called a machine language • Pre-Operating System • ENIAC IBM 709 (IBM's first generation of big scientific vacuum tube computers –1959)
ENIAC • Electronic Numeral Integrator And Computer • University of Pennsylvania • Consisting of 18,000 vacuum tubes, 70,000 resistors and 5 million soldered joints • 160 kilowatts !! • general-purpose computer • Instructions and Data both in memory. • Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC) designed by Von Neumann
2nd Generation Computing(1955-1965) • 1955 introduced the transistor • Introduction of separation of system designers and operators • Punched card era • Magnetic tapes • Introduction of batch systems • Minimal Operating System tasks • system compilers • system loaders
2nd Generation Computing(1955-1965) IBM 7094 IBM 1401
2nd Generation Computing(1955-1965) Early Batch System Operation
2nd Generation Computing(1955-1965) • Programmer produced punched card collection (PCC) • Multiple PCC’s were transferred to tape • Tape was run on mainframe • Output printed after all jobs complete
3rd Generation Computing(1965-1980) • Integrated Circuit (IC) (1958) • semiconductor • Introduction of basic OS concepts • Monitor and keyboard • Magnetic disk • Birth of Unix • Move to standardized hardware • Multiprogramming gained over batch • multiple jobs in memory at the same time • Becoming smaller & more general purpose • multiple jobs in memory at the same time • Most computing done on Mainframes • birth of the minicomputer (e.g. DEC PDP-11)
3rd Generation Computing(1965-1980) Cray 23 Cray 29
3rd Generation Computing(1965-1980) • IBM System 360 (360 degrees) • Standard data format
3rd Generation Computing(1965-1980) • Multiprogramming • many jobs in memory at once • scheduling became important (1 CPU)
4th Generation Computing(1980 - Present) • go down - in size • very large scale integration (VLSI) • Growth of the microcomputer (PC) • Widespread use of general purpose single user systems • Timesharing and GUI environments • Introduction of DOS IBM PC 1
4th Generation Computing(1980 - Present) • DOS • originally produce by Tim Paterson at Seattle Computer Products • bought then modified by Bill Gates and Tim Paterson to become MS-DOS • added BASIC • packaged with IBM’s PC 1 • Lead to the development of Windows in 1985
4th Generation Computing(1980 - Present) • ASCI White • Most powerful computing platform ever built! • 12.3 TeraOps (12,300,000,000,000 operations per second)
What is a Computer? • Computers are electronic devices that process information. Keys : 1. Data -> Operands 2. Instructions or Operations -> Operators
Computer classifications • Flexibility (general or special purpose) • Purpose (scientific, business ) • Power • MIPS (Millions Instructions Per Seconds) • MFLOPS (Mega Floating-point Operations Per Second)
Classification by size Supercomputers Mainframes Workstations Microcomputers Microcontrollers
Supercomputers • priced from $500,000 to more than $85 million • thousands of processors CRAY-1, CRAY-2, CRAY-3 • Switching time • Heat IBM ASCI White
Mainframes • cost $5000 - $5 million • vary in size from small, to medium, to large, depending on their use • Terminal : means often used to access a mainframe • a display screen and a keyboard • No process • Price • Special requirements (power, air-conditioning) VP2400 mainframe
Mini computers and Work Stations • Mini Computers • Multi user • but usually as dedicated computer • DEC, IBM, HP • Workstations • expensive, powerful computers • usually used for complex scientific, mathematical, and CAD/CAM
Micro Computers • Also called personal computers • Cost $500 - $5000 • Laptop computers Sony tower PC
Micro Computers • PDA - also called handheld computers or palmtops • personal organization tools • schedule planners, • address books • to-do lists--with • send e-mail and faxes. • Well-known makers of PDAs include Palm, Handspring, Sony, and Compaq.
Micro controllers • also called embedded computers. • Tiny, specialized microprocessors installed in “smart” appliances and automobiles.
The most important definition Software/Hardware • Hardware • All the machinery and equipment in a computer system • Software • All the instructions (programs) that tell the computer how to perform a task
Software/Hardware (Another def.) • Computer Hardware The collection of equipment (keyboard, screen, printer, diskette drive, hard disk drive, central processing unite, memory and so on) along with all of the components that connect these equipment together. • Computer Software All programs (operation system, application software, operating environment) that govern the operation of computer and make the hardware run.
basic operations • Input • Processing • Storage • Output • Communications Keyboard Mouse
Processing • Processing • the manipulation a computer does to transform data into information. • Case or system cabinet – • the box that houses the processor chip (CPU), • the memory chips, • the motherboard with power supply • some secondary storage devices. • iMac !? Case
Processing Cont. • Processor chip – • A tiny piece of silicon that contains millions of miniature electronic circuits. Also called the CPU (Central Processing Unit). • Also known as RAM (Random Access Memory). • Represent primary storage or temporary storage. • Hold data before processing and information after processing. Memory chips
Storage • Primary storage (memory) • Computer circuitry that temporarily holds data waiting to be processed • Secondary storage (storage) • The area in the computer where data or information is held permanently
Storage Cont. • Byte - 1 character of data • Kilobyte - 1024 characters • Megabyte - 1024 KBytes • Gigabyte - 1024 MBytes • Terabyte - 1024 GBytes
