Introduction: Computer Generations History of development of computers down the years is referred as Computer Generations. A generation refers to research and development done to improve the performance of computers. It also refers to the new technical breakthroughs and advancements in computers. A generation has significantly decreased the size of computers and increased the performance. With the increase in speed‚ power and memory and decrease in size‚ each generation has brought down the cost

fourth generation computer - A computer built using Very Large Scale Integration(VLSI) integrated circuits‚ especially a microcomputer based on a microprocessor‚ or a parallel processor containing two to thousands of CPUs. VLSI made it routine to fabricate an entire CPU‚ main memory‚ or similar device with a single integrated circuit that can be mass produced at very low cost. This has resulted in new classes of machines such as personal computers‚ and high performance parallel processors that

Paul Bohall ENG-111 Section 1GH Stompfest: The best LAN party. Evaluation Paper In my Evaluation paper I choose to evaluate a LAN (Local Area Network) party named Stompfest. In case you don’t know what a LAN party I will explain. A LAN party is when a group of people usually in their teens to mid twenties‚ and sometimes people who are over forty‚ come together. Depending on the size of the LAN decides if it is at someone’s house‚ a rented hall or even a convention center. It consists of

television sets and toys. History The CPU evolved from miniature transmitters and integrated circuits which were developed in the early 1960s by IBM and other top technology companies of the time. By the early 1970s‚ transmitting integrated circuits were being manufactured commercially and engineers took that technology and developed the CPU. Harnessing the transmission abilities of integrated circuits‚ engineers added the ability to process information and memory power‚ Combined‚ these elements

For NMOS transistors‚ if the input is a 1 the switch is on‚ otherwise it is off. On the other hand‚ for the PMOS‚ if the input is 0 the transistor is on‚ otherwise the transistor is off. Here is a graphical representation of these facts: When a circuit contains both NMOS and PMOS transistors we say it is implemented in CMOS (Complementary MOS) Understanding the basics of transistors‚ we can now design a simple NOR gate. Next figure shows the implementation in transistors of the NOR gate and how

the beginning of the "Second Generation" of computers in 1947. Unfortunately‚ the 2nd Generation did not advance as much as most people hoped‚ but eventually‚ the "Third Generation" was brought about by the invention of integrated circuits in 1958. Integrated circuits replaced transistors‚ and many computer languages came out in this time. Many more computer companies were born during this time‚ and eventually this led to personal computers for everyday use. Microprocessors introduced the beginning

The first single chip CPU was the Intel 4004 invented in Nov 1971‚ a 4-bit processor meant for a calculator. It processed data in 4 bits‚ but its instructions were 8 bits long. Program and data were separate. In 1972‚ Texax Instruments followed the Intel 4004/4040 closely with the 4-bit TMS 1000‚ which was the first microprocessor to include enough RAM‚ and space for a program ROM‚ to allow it to operate without multiple external support chips. It also featured an innovative feature to add custom
