  • Computer Technology History
    Computer Technology History The affects of technology on our society. After completing this lesson, you will know: The history of computers from the 1940s up to the present. The future of computing. The many ways in which computers are used in modern life. How to make computers accessible to persons with disabilities. How computers are used in business and education. First Off…What are Computers? A Computer is an electronic device that receives data (input), processes data, stores data, and produces a result (output). Software is the instructions and/or programs that control the computer. Atanasoff-Berry Computer 1939 The first computing machine to use electricity, vacuum tubes, binary numbers and capacitors was created. The capacitors were in a rotating drum that held the electrical charge for the memory. History of Computing 1940s The first computers were built for breaking enemy codes in WWII The first all-electronic computer was developed during the 1940s. MARK series - 1944 Howard Aiken and Grace Hopper designed the MARK series of computers at Harvard University. The MARK series of computers began with the Mark I in 1944. Imagine a giant roomful of noisy, clicking metal parts, 55 feet long and 8 feet high. The 5-ton device contained almost 760,000 separate pieces. Used by the US Navy for gunnery and ballistic calculations, the Mark I was in operation until 1959. Vacuum Tube The vacuum tube was used to amplify voice and music. However, the tubes consumed power, created heat, burned out quickly, and required high maintenance. “Debugging” In the 1940s, computers were housed in buildings with no air conditioning.

  • APL\1130 Primer Student Text
    IBM APL\1130 Primer Student Text Student Text APL\1130 Primer ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This Primer was written by Paul Berry of the IBM Research Division, T. J. Watson Research Center, York·town Heights, New York; it was adapted for use with the IBM 1130 from another APL Primer by the same author. The basic text benefitted greatly from the suggestions, criticisms, and comments of the readers of the various early drafts, and especially those of A. D. Falkoff, K. E. Iverson, J. C. McPherson, L. M. Breed, and R. H. Lathwell. The adaptation for the APL\1130 System was assisted by S. M. Raucher of the IBM Data Processing Division, Wheaton, Maryland, and Miss C. A. Conroy, who ran the sample problems at the 1130 console. NOTICE This text is distributed by IBM as a service to users of the 1130 computing system and to those who are interested in the APL language. Publication of this text does not imply support of the APL\1130 program; that program is a contributed program, distributed but not maintained by IBM. It is not part of the IBM product line, and has not been subject to product testing. Recipients of the APL\1130 program are expected to make their own final evaluation of its usefulness. This text contains description of certain features which were not provided in the original APL\1130 program distributed in February, 1968. These features include the use of labels (Chapter 13), common libraries (Chapter 15), and passwords for the locking of workspaces and sign-on numbers. Copies of this and other IBM publications can be obtained through IBM branch offices.

    CERN/FC/1374 CERN LIBRARIES, GENEVA Original: English 15 September, 1971 CM-P00087609 ORGANISATION EUROPÉENNE POUR LA RECHERCHE NUCLÉAIRE CERN EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH FINANCE COMMITTEE Hundred-and-fourteenth Meeting Geneva - 29 September, 1971 ADJUDICATION FOR REMOTE INPUT OUTPUT STATIONS FOR THE CERN CENTRAL COMPUTER SYSTEM The document CERN/FC/1340, Programme for Acquisition of Peripheral Equipment for the CERN Central Computer System, outlines the programme of development needed to build up a decentralized service based on the CDC 7600 computer. The first step in this programme consists of the acquisition of five or six Remote Input Output Stations. Each station will be based on a small computer which initially drives a card reader, line printer and a communications controller. Additional stations may be purchased later and some will be expanded by the addition of extra peripherals and high speed communications equipment as the demands on the decentralized service grow. The offers received from firms show the Modular One computer manufactured by Computer Technology Limited to be the one which most exactly meets the technical specification. The offer from Computer Technology Limited is a few percent more expensive than the two other possible machines for the initial configuration, but this is more than compensated for by the proven software and greater capability for ex• pansion of the Modular One Computer. The Finance Committee is requested to approve the award of the contract for an initial order of five or six basic Remote Input Output Stations from Computer Technology Limited at a price of approx• imately 182,000 Swiss Francs per station (excluding the card reader), with the possibility of later 71/286/5/e CERN/FC/1374 I.

  • Emulation and Computing History the Computer History Simulation Project and SIMH
    Emulation and computing history The Computer History Simulation Project and SIMH Skill Level: Intermediate M. Tim Jones ([email protected]) Senior Architect 22 Mar 2011 The simplest computing devices we use today have more processing capability than the most capable computing systems of yesterday. For example, the VAX 11/780 delivered around 0.5 MIPS in the early 1980s. Compare that to an IBM zEnterprise™ 196 (z196) mainframe of today, which can support well over 52 KMIPS. However, we can learn a lot from early computing history. If you've ever wanted to boot an IBM 1130, PDP-11, or MITS Altair, then the Computer History Simulation Project is just what you've been looking for. In late 1978, as a birthday gift, I received my first computer. It was a TRS-80 model 1 with 4KB of memory and cassette tape mass storage, which I later upgraded to an Exatron stringy floppy. Within a few weeks, my BASIC programming skills had evolved to the point that I had exceeded the available memory for my yet-to-be-completed program: a sad day. Little did I know 30 years later, as an embedded firmware engineer, I would still spend much of my time trying to squeeze more code and data into a smaller address space. Computer history is fascinating, as are some of the early computers that were developed. Many of the early machines were rudimentary calculators, such as Konrad Zuse's Z1, which he invented in 1931, and going back even farther, Herman Hollerith's mechanical sorting machine that was used in the 1890 census; six years later his is one of the companies that merged and became IBM.

    REC language is a live on IBM1130 simulator This work is archaeological reconstruction of REC/A language on IBM1130 Simulator from Computer History Simulation Project Ignacio Vega-Páez1, José Angel Ortega 2 and Georgina G. Pulido3 [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] IBP-TR2009-04 Apr 2009, México, D.F. ABSTRACT REC (Regular Expression Compiler) is a concise programming language development in mayor Mexican Universities at end of 60’s which allows students to write programs without knowledge of the complicated syntax of languages like FORTRAN and ALGOL. The language is recursive and contains only four elements for control. This paper describes use of the interpreter of REC written in FORTRAN on IBM1130 Simulator from “Computer History Simulation” Project [2008 Vega]. Terms Key: REC (Regular Expression Compiler), Programming language, Archeology software. This work is archaeological reconstruction of language REC/A on IBM1130 Simulator form Computer History Simulation Project (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/) used for 1130 fans in www.ibm1130.org, the interpreter REC Fortran was writing for Gerardo Cisneros at the beginning of computing in Mexico, which marks a milestone in software development in Mexico, so it is important to bring to life this version of REC/A. A formal definition of REC language was published by Harold V. McIntosh in AIM-149 of MIT Artificial Intelligence Group and too “Acta Mexicana de Ciencia y Tecnología” of IPN México City. see [68a McIntosh] & [68b McIntosh] respectively, and for detail

  • APL / J by Seung­Jin Kim and Qing Ju
    APL / J by Seung-jin Kim and Qing Ju What is APL and Array Programming Language? APL stands for ªA Programming Languageº and it is an array programming language based on a notation invented in 1957 by Kenneth E. Iverson while he was at Harvard University[Bakker 2007, Wikipedia ± APL]. Array programming language, also known as vector or multidimensional language, is generalizing operations on scalars to apply transparently to vectors, matrices, and higher dimensional arrays[Wikipedia - J programming language]. The fundamental idea behind the array based programming is its operations apply at once to an entire array set(its values)[Wikipedia - J programming language]. This makes possible that higher-level programming model and the programmer think and operate on whole aggregates of data(arrary), without having to resort to explicit loops of individual scalar operations[Wikipedia - J programming language]. Array programming primitives concisely express broad ideas about data manipulation[Wikipedia ± Array Programming]. In many cases, array programming provides much easier methods and better prospectives to programmers[Wikipedia ± Array Programming]. For example, comparing duplicated factors in array costs 1 line in array programming language J and 10 lines with JAVA. From the given array [13, 45, 99, 23, 99], to find out the duplicated factors 99 in this array, Array programing language J©s source code is + / 99 = 23 45 99 23 99 and JAVA©s source code is class count{ public static void main(String args[]){ int[] arr = {13,45,99,23,99}; int count = 0; for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { if ( arr[i] == 99 ) count++; } System.out.println(count); } } Both programs return 2.
