The past - first three generations of computers 5/1/2015 Antonín Daněk - 4TD.cz 3 Generation zero: 1940 : Relay  operation/ second Generation one: 1945 : Electron tube  operations / second

The past - first three generations of computers 5/1/2015 Antonín Daněk - 4TD.cz 4 Generation two: 1956: Transistor  thousands operations / second  much smaller computers Generation three: 1964: Integrated Circuit (IC)  tens of thousands operations / second  parallel usage

The presence - fourth generation of computers 5/1/2015 Antonín Daněk - 4TD.cz 5 Generation four: 1981 – now  Integrated Circuit  VLSI - Very-large-scale integration Parameters  Tens of millions operations / second  Processor itself fits into few square centimeters

The future - What will come next? 5/1/2015 Antonín Daněk - 4TD.cz 6 Moors law – Every 18 months, the number of transistors in ICs will be doubled.

The future - What will come next? 5/1/2015 Antonín Daněk - 4TD.cz 7  Current: 65 nm, 45 nm 32 nm – should be on stores soon 22 nm – nm – nm – 2022 The smaller technology, the more transistors fit on a smaller space. ICs have its’ borders. It is not possible to make transistors smaller to infinity.
