The document discusses the history and evolution of computers from the 1st to 5th generations. It describes some of the earliest calculating devices like the Pascaline and how vacuum tubes were used in early computers for logic and operations. It outlines important developments in each generation including increased speeds, memory storage options, programming languages used, and applications growing from military/scientific uses to business/commercial applications. The summaries highlight the key differences between the 1st and 5th generations in terms of components, programming, storage, speeds, and capabilities.
1st generation of computer
- 1. PRESENTED BY : MARIAM NIAZ & SOBIA YOUSUFZAI BS ENG 2 A
- 2. The concept is of using a CALCULATING DEVICE called PASCALINE invented by PASCAL to calculate FAST and keep the RECORD EARLY AGE of record keeping is called THE 0 GENERATION
- 3. It’s a DEVICE used for the SUBTRACTION ‘ MULTIPLICATION’ ADDITION & DIVISION operations
- 4. •1946-1957 •JOHN P EKCET & JOHN W.MAUCHLY •ENIAC •EDSAC •ADVAC •UNIVAC •IBM
- 5. 1000 times faster Used 18’000 VACCUM tubes Used in WORLD WAR II for MILITARY purposes Completes an operation in 2 minutes that takes a HUMAN to complete in 40 HOURS
- 6. First PRACTICAL STORED PROGRAM electronic computer and FIRST to run a GRAPHICAL COMPUTER GAME VACCUM TUBES were used for logic & Mercury Delay Line for storage
- 7. Stores computer program with automatic CALCULATION CHECKING SOFTWARE
- 8. The FIRST BUSINESS USED COMPUTER , its cost was close to 1 MILLION dollars
- 9. Electrostatic Storage , manufactured for the first time in QUANTITY & COMERCIAL use
- 10. STORED IN AN INTERNAL ADDRESSABLE ELECTRONIC MEMOEY The First IBM machine in which programs are
- 11. Basic arithmetic operations only took a few MILLISECONDS 100 – 1000 times increase in the SPEDD PUNCHED cards invented to feed DATA and store PROGRAMMS Scientific purposes mainly
- 12. High Cost Bulky and Heavy VOLUME Consumed more power then calculations
- 13. PUNCH CARDS AND PAPER TAPES to feed programs and Data to get the results
- 14. Magnetic tapes & Magnetic drums for secondary memory
- 15. Punch Cards Magnetic Tape
- 16. For the operations and Logic
- 17. VACCUM TUBES
- 18. Used ASSEMBLY or LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE to write the programs and then converted into MACHINE LANGUAGE
- 19. 1st generation: They used vacuum tubes They use Low Level Programming Language Limited storage Errors and slow calculations 5th generation: They did not use vacuum tubes High Level programming language used Large storage Fast calculations & almost no errors
- 20. 1st generation: No multitasking No video gaming 5th generation: Multitasking Video gaming industry took birth
- 21. Thank You
