1st Generation (1944 - 1958) : Vacuum Tubes

Memory was made up of hundreds of vacuum tubes

Gave off so much heat

Input and output media were punched cards and magnetic tapes

Very large in size, taking up entire rooms.

IBM Punched Card (input)

Magnetic Tapes (output)Vacuum Tubes (memory)

•Vacuum tubes were replaced with transistors

•An electronic switch that alternately allow or disallow electronic signal to pass, replaces vacuum tubes

•These transistors were made of solid material, some of which is silicon, therefore they were very cheap to produce

•Much smaller than vacuum tubes, draw less power, and generate less heat, conduct electricity faster.

2nd Generation (1959 - 1964) : Transistor

Page 21: Chap1 basic

21

Page 22: Chap1 basic

22

An electronic circuit that packages transistors and other electronic components into one small silicon chip called semiconductor.

The number of transistors that is placed on a single chip has increased, shrinking both the size and cost of computers.

Keyboards and monitors were used.

Magnetic disks were used widely as secondary storage

3rd Generation (1964 - 1970) : Integrated Circuit

Page 23: Chap1 basic

23

Page 24: Chap1 basic

24

•A silicon chip on which transistors are integrated onto it.•Microprocessor can do all the processing of a full-scale computer – smaller in size , faster in speed.

4th Generation (1971-Present) : Microprocessor

•These circuit integrations are known as Large-scale integrated (LSI) and Very Large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuits

Microprocessors led to the invention of personal computers.

Page 25: Chap1 basic

•Fifth generation computing devices, based on Artificial Intelligence, are still in development, though there are some applications. such as voice recognition, that are being used today

•Artificial Intelligence (AI) concerns with making computers behave and think like humans.

•AI studies include robotics, expert systems, games, etc..

5th Generation (Present & Beyond) : Artificial Intelligence

Questions

• List the 5 generations of computers.

• Magnetic tapes and vacuum tubes were used in which generation?

• We are now in the _____ generation.

• Processor = microprocessor = CPU ( T/F?)

Classification of Computers

(1) Supercomputers

•The Fastest computer •Used for intensive numerical Computation•The most expensive.•process billions of instructions in a second•Can have hundreds of processors.•Speed is measured in nanoseconds•used by some exclusive group only•Main memory around >64 GB & Secondary Storage In TeraByte•scientific research, weather forecasting, climate research (global warming),

Page 28: Chap1 basic

28

(2)Mainframes

•1 to 16 CPUs (modern machines more) •Organizations such as banks & insurance companies which process large number of transactions on-line.•Process data at very high speed•Less expensive than Supercomputer•used for processing large amount of data•user work with terminal e.g. IBM Mainframe

Page 29: Chap1 basic

29

(3)Workstations

•Powerful desktop computers •Used by engineers and scientists for engineering applications,software development, application that require a high amount of computing power

Page 30: Chap1 basic

30

•designed to support a computer network that allows you to share files, application software, hardware, such as printers and other network resources.

•Mainframes, personal computers can be used as a server.

•Server computers usually have following characteristics:

•Designed to be connected to one or more networks

•The most powerful CPUs available

•Multiple CPUs to share the processing tasks

•Large memory and disk storage

•High-speed communications capabilities

(4)Servers

Page 31: Chap1 basic

• The most common for home users , computers that can fit on a desktop or in one's briefcase.

• Can perform all of its input, processing, output and storage activities by itself.
