3rd generation Computer

Welcome to my PowerPoint Presentation

Welcome

Generations of computer Computer can classified in to five types according to generations :. First generation computer . Second generation computer . Third generation computer . Fourth generation computer . Fifth generation computer

Third generation computer Period : 1963 – 1972 Inventor : Jack Kilby

Robert Noyce Main processing device : IC (integrated

circuit)

Storage media : Floppies

Official Definition

A computer built with small-scale integration integrated circuits, designed after the mid-1960s. A computer made in the 1960’s that was one of first basic computers.

Examples IBM 360: the IBM system/360 was a main frame computer system family first announced by IBM On April 7,1964, and sold b/w 1964 and 1978. The design made a clear distinction between architecture and implementation, allowing IBM to release a suite of compatible designs at different prices.

The mass increase in the use of computers accelerated with 'Third Generation' computers. These generally relied on Jack Kirby's invention of the integrated circuit (or microchip), starting around 1965.

However, the IBM System/360 used hybrid circuits, which were solid-state devices interconnected on a substrate with

Third Generation of Computers (1963-1972) development of Integrated Circuit was ď €Thehallmark of the 3 generation of all rd

omputers.

Instead of printouts 3 rd generation computers had first keyboards that typed words on the monitor.

Examples Illiac IV: the Illiac IV was a supercomputer created in the late 1960s at the university of Illinois. It had 64 separate

Third generation computer ICs

Advantag es : ICs are very small in size Improved performance Production cost is cheap

Disadvanta ges :

ICs are sophisticated It can hardly repaired, in case of failure.

High grade PNP assembly is

The characteristics of computer are: 1.Speed : Computer process the data at an unimaginable speed. The speed of the computer ranges up to Nano seconds.

2. Reliability: The next important characteristic of a computer is its reliability. we can always rely on the information given by a computer.

3. Memory capacity:

The memory capacity of a computer is measured in bits and bytes. Large amount of the data can be stored in computer and retrieved. Memory capacity of the computer ranges in Giga bytes.

4. Accuracy:

Accuracy of the computer is very high it performs calculation with greater accuracy in less time.

5. Automation :

A computer allows automation for any process designed in the form of a program. A program can be executed any number of times to repeat the process.

6. functionality:

Computer can performs many kinds of jobs. It not only process the data but also can be Used for playing music, movies, and printing jobs.

7. Tirelessness:

A computer never get tired.
