The Abacus
Long, Long AgoAbacus - 3000 BCbeads on rods to count and calculatestill widely used in Asia!Used for Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division
The Napier Bones  or Slide Rule
Slide Rule or Napier Bone Slide Rule 1630
For Multiplication, Division and Square Roots
Based on Napier’s rules for logarithms
Used until 1970sSemi Automatic Calculating Devices

Electro Mechanical Calculating Device
MARK I (1937 – 1944)Invented ByHoward H. Aiken
Convergence of technologies
MARK I (1937 – 1944)   In 1944, the Mark I was "switched" on.  Aiken's colossal machine spanned 51 feet     in length and 8 feet in height. 500 meters of wiring were required to connect each component. Referred as Electronic Relay Computer

UNIVAC
UNIVersalAutomatic Computer - I (UNIVAC I)
UNIVACInvented ByRemington Rand
UNIVAC
UNIVACFirst Commercially available computersOwned by US Census Bureau & the General Electrics
Grace HopperProgrammed UNIVACRecipient of Computer Science’s first “Man of the Year Award”
First Generation – Sum UpUsed Vacuum tubes and Magnetic drum for storageInstructions only for Specific taskEach computer had different binary coded program (Machine language)
Magnetic Drum
Second Generation 1965-1963
Second Generation 1956 – Computers began to incorporate Transistors
Replaced vacuum tubes with Transistors
Replaced Machine language (Binary Codes) with Assembly Language
Used Components are :      Printers , Tape Storage, Memory, Operating System, and stored ProgramsEX Computer languages: FORTRAN  COBOL
Ex Second Generation ComputersUNIVAC III, 400 and 800 Series, B 5000, CDC 1604
First TransistorUses Silicondeveloped in 1948won a Nobel prizeon-off switchSecond Generation Computers used Transistors, starting in 1956
Third Generation – 1964-19711964-1971Integrated CircuitOperating SystemGetting smaller, cheaper
Integrated Circuits
Third Generation Computers used Integrated Circuits (chips).
Integrated Circuits are transistors, resistors, and capacitors integrated together into a single “chip”Operating SystemSoftware – Instructions for ComputerOperating system is set of instructions loaded each time a computer is startedProgram is instructions loaded when needed
The First Microprocessor – 1971Intel 4004 MicroprocessorThe 4004 had 2,250 transistorsfour-bit chunks (four 1’s or 0’s)108KhzCalled “Microchip”
4th Generation – 1971-presentMICROCHIPS!Getting smaller and smaller, but we are still using microchip technology
What is a Microchip?Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSIC)Transistors, resistors, and capacitors4004 had 2,250 transistorsPentium IV has 42 MILLION transistorsEach transistor 0.13 microns (10-6 meters)
Birth of Personal Computers - 1975256 byte memory (not Kilobytes or Megabytes)2 MHz Intel 8080 chipsJust a box with flashing lightscost $395 kit, $495 assembled.
Generations of Electronic Computers
Evolution of ElectronicsMicrochip (VLSIC)Integrated CircuitTransistorVacuum Tube
