Chapter 1 History of Computing

2 Early History of Computing Abacus (origin? 2000BC) An early device to represent numeric values with beads. Note that the “computing” is still done by the human. More Info

3 The Pascaline Blaise Pascal ( ) Mechanical device to do addition and subtraction. Used gear positions to represent information and a turn of a crank to manipulate the gears. More info

4 Wilhelm Leibniz Wilhelm Leibniz ( ) gear-based mechanism (Stepped Reckoner) similar to Pascal’s, but “hardwired” for some multiplications. More info

5 6 Joseph Jacquard (c. 1801) Mechanical loom with weaving pattern based on holes in paper which had the effect of raising and lowering particular hooks (i.e., programmable) Jacquard’s Loom More info

6 Other “punched card” systems Music Boxes and Player Pianos (1800’s, 1900’s) -> links to history, pictures, musichistorypicturesmusic Herman Hollerith ( ): census tabulation using punched cards - led to founding of IBM (originally Tabulating Machine Company)

7 7 Charles Babage ( ) Difference Engine: a gear-based computer he built Analytical Engine: a design for a gear-based computer which would be programmable using punched cards. Machine was never fully realized as he ran out of money. Technical problem was that gear-based machine had some inherent inaccuracy that might go unnoticed in watch or loom, but not in complex arithmetic calculations. The Analytical Engine

8 Analytical Engine Continued Ada Lovelace ( ) –First woman to be involved in design of computers –Credited with actually documenting Babbage's analytical engine, and extended his ideas –Inventor of the loop

9 Theoretical Developments Alan Turing ( ) and Alonza Church ( ) –Designed mathematical model of computing –Turing is often called the father of computer science –Highest award named for Turing

10 Modern Computers - Electricity Breakthrough: Can control flow of electrons. Electrons travel faster, more accurately, and with less power/cost than gears. Earliest Models: Non-military (thus funding/support limited) John Atansoff & Clifford Berry (Iowa State, ) Konrad Zuse and Helmut Schreyer (Germany, c. WWII) Military (thus funding/support plentiful) Mark 1 (Howard Aiken et al, Harvard/IBM, ) Colossus (Alan Turing et al, England, 1943) ENIAC (John von Neumann et al, Penn, 1940s)

11 An Example - ILLIAC

12 8 Vacuum Tubes Acts as an electronic “switch” Large, not very reliable, generated a lot of heat Magnetic Drum Memory device that rotated under a read/write head Card Readers --> Magnetic Tape Drives Development of these sequential auxiliary storage devices First Generation Hardware ( )

13 9 Transistor (Bell Telephone, 1947) Replaced vacuum tube as “switch”. fast, small, durable, cheap, made with some silicon. Magnetic Cores Replaced magnetic drums, information available instantly Magnetic Disks Replaced magnetic tape, data can be accessed directly Second Generation Hardware ( )

14 10 Integrated Circuits Thousands of components on a single semiconductor. Replaced circuit boards, smaller, cheaper, faster, more reliable. Transistors Now used for memory construction Terminal An input/output device with a keyboard and screen Third Generation Hardware ( )

15 11 Large-scale Integrated Circuits Used existing computer to design much smaller, more intricate integrated circuits. Now, the entire “microprocessor” could be on a single chip of silicon. PCs, the Commercial Market, Workstations Personal Computers were developed by old/new companies like Apple(1976) and Atari (1978), IBM PC (1981), Macintosh (1984). Workstations emerged (HP, Sun, SGI) Fourth Generation Hardware (1971- ?)

16 Further Developments Parallel Computation Networking Quantum Computing What's next?

17 13 Machine Language Computer programs written in binary (1s and 0s) Assembly Languages and Translators Programs written using mnemonics, which were translated into machine language Programmer Changes Programmers divide into two groups: application programmers and systems programmers First Generation Software ( )

18 Assembly/Machine Systems programmers write the assembler (translator) Applications programmers use assembly language to solve problems

19 14 High-level Languages English-like statements made programming easier: Fortran, COBOL, Lisp Second Generation Software ( ) Systems programmers write translators for high-level languages Application programmers use high-level languages to solve problems

20 16 Third Generation Software ( )

21 15 Third Generation Software ( ) Systems Software Utility programs Language translators Operating system, which decides which programs to run and when Separation between Users and Hardware Computer programmers write programs to be used by general public (i.e., nonprogrammers)

22 17 Structured Programming Pascal C C++ New Application Software for Users Spreadsheets Word processors Database management systems Fourth Generation Software ( )

23 18 Microsoft Windows operating system and other Microsoft application programs dominate the market Object-Oriented Design Based on a hierarchy of data objects (i.e. Java) World Wide Web Allows easy global communication through the Internet New Users Today’s user needs no computer knowledge Fifth Generation Software (1990- present)

24 One Law, plus some quotes Moore's law –The number of transistors that fit on a chip doubles every two years. “I think there is a world market for maybe 5 computers.” Chair of IBM, 1945 “...computers in the future may only have 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh 1.5 tons.” Popular mechanics, 1949 “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” Founder of DEC, 1977
