INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER

1.INTRODUCTION OF Figure 1

COMPUTER Computer is an electronic retrieves and process data and can be programmed with instructions and process data. A computer is a machine which can store, combination of hardware and software and can exist in a variety of sizes and configuration.  HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE  The term hardware refers to the physical components of your computer such as the system unit, CPU, mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc.  The software is the instructions that make the computer works software is held either on your computer, hard discs, CD, ROM, and DVD or in floppy discs.  TYPES OF COMPUTER  Mini computer 1


INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER  Main computer Are very powerful used by large organizations such as banks to control the entire business.

 PERSONAL COMPUTER Cheap and easy to use often use as stand along computer and in a network or may be connected to the large main frame computer within companies.

 HARDWARE COMPONENT  Keyboard  Mouse  Joystick  Game pad  OUTPUT DEVICES  Monitor  Printer  CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTER

INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER  Speed: Computer is very fast machine a powerful computer is capable of performing thousands of simple instructions per second.  Accuracy: In addition to being fast computer cannot occur any error while performing any task.  Diligence: Computer are highly consistence they do not suffer from traits of boredom and tiredness resulting in lack of concentration computers are better than human beings in performing any task.  VERSALITY: Computer are versatile machine and are capable of performing any task as long as it can be broken down into a series of logical steps.  STORAGE CAPACITY: Computer can store large amount of data at a time a piece of information once recorded in a computer can never be forgotten an can be retrieve any time.

The contents of RAM no more available once the computer is runoff.

Scientific Purpose

IBM: 1401

Business application

CDC: 3600

Scientific Purpose

 They were smaller than first generation computer.  They generate less heat.  They took less computers time.  They were less prone to future.  DISADVANTAGE  They required AC.  They required frequently maintenance.  They were difficult and quite expensive.  THIRD GENERATION IC’s- Integration Circuit [Chips]  It’s more compact than transistor.

INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER  Single IC has many transistors, Resistors, Capacitors, Placed on a single thin of silicon.  IBM- 360(1964)  PDP-8 DEC. Company (1965)  CRA- 1 (1974)  VAX- (1978)  ADVANTAGE  They were smaller in size.  They generated less heat.  They reduced computable time.  They involve low maintenance cost.  They were easily portable.  They were comparatively cheaper.  FOURTH GENERATION  VLSI: Very Large Scale Integration Technology. After the introduction of integrated circuit computer could only get small in size since hundreds of computer could fit on one chip. The use of VLSI technology had squeezed thousands of computers in one time.  GENERATION OF COMPUTERS Generation in computer termology is a change in computer technology a computer was being use. Nowadays generations include both hardware and 9


INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER software which together make up an entire computer system there are totally five computer generations.  FIRST GENERATION  1942-1954  1945 -1956  Vacuum tube based  SECOND GENERATION  Transistor based  THIRD GENERATION  IC’s  FOURTH GENERATION  1971-1990  VLSI TECHNOLOGY  [Microprocessor based]  FIFTH GENERATION  VLSI - [Microprocessor based]  VLSI - Very Large Scale Integration  ULSI – Ultra Large Scale Integration 

FIRST GENERATION

The period of first generation was 1942- 1954. First generation of computer started with using vacuum tube for processing the CPU.

INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER These tubes like electric bulb produced a lot of heat therefore were very expensive and could be affordable only by large organization.

 ADVANTAGES             

Vacuum technology is used unreliable. Supported machine language only. Very costly. Generate lots of heat. Need of A.C. Huge size. None portable. Consume lots of electricity. ENIACEDVACUNIVACIBM-701 IBM-650
