    1 (9) The Millennium Technology Prize Laureate 2010 “For his invention of the ARM microprocessor and its implementation on silicon chips. This invention has enabled the revolution in mobile electronics. To date, more than 18 billion ARM-based chips have been manufactured and are used in ubiquitous computing applications, such as mobile phones, digital photography and video, music players, fixed and wireless networking, automobiles and health care, benefitting a large number of people all over the world.” Professor Stephen Furber Professor of Computer Engineering, the University of Manchester, United Kingdom Born March 1953 in Manchester, United Kingdom. Timeline 1982 Acorn BBC Micro launched 1983 Acorn starts RISC Machine project with Furber as principal designer 1985 First ARM microprocessor produced 1987 ARM processor debuts as the first RISC processor for Acorn Archimedes desktop computer 1990 Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) spins out of Acorn and Apple Computers collaboration, Furber continues his research of low power computing as a professor at University of Manchester. 1998 ARM listed on the London Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Over 50 million ARM powered products shipped. 2010 20 billion ARM based chips manufactured Creator of the ARM microprocessor The 2010 Millennium Technology Prize Laureate Steve Furber is the principal designer of the ARM 32- bit RISC microprocessor, an innovation that revolutionised mobile electronics. The ingeniously designed processor enabled the development of cheap, powerful handheld, battery-operated devices. In the past 25 years nearly 20 billion ARM based chips have been manufactured. You may never have heard of ARM microprocessors, but probably use at least one every day. They tick inside our mobile phones, mp3-players, video recorders and home routers.

  • The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore
    C H A P T E R 1199 TThhee SSaavviioorr ooff CCoommmmooddoorree 11998822 -- 11998855 ommodore failed to capitalize on the unmatched success of the C64, which was a games market. The C128 had virtually no game C development and did not transition C64 users into more powerful computers. It was time for Commodore to enter the 16-bit market. Jay Miner he man who originated the idea for Commodore’s next generation Thardware did not work for Commodore. In fact, he was working for Commodore’s nemesis, Atari, when he conceived of the revolutionary new computer. Jay Glenn Miner was born May 31, 1932 in Prescott, Arizona. This made him part of Chuck Peddle and Jack Tramiel’s generation, rather than the generation that had created Commodore’s most recent hits. A few years after his birth, Miner’s family moved to Southern California. After graduating high school, he signed up for the Coast Guard, which took him to Groton, Connecticut for military training. While there, he met Caroline Poplawski and married her in 1952. Like Tramiel, Miner served in the military during the Korean War. Miner received his first taste of electronics at Groton in the Coast Guard’s Electronics Technician School. After completing the six-month course, he joined the North Atlantic Weather Patrol where he jumped from island to island by boat and helicopter, repairing damaged radar stations and radio installations. With little to distract him, he immersed his young mind in electronics. After serving three years in the barren North Atlantic, Miner enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley in engineering.

The proliferation of affordable and relatively powerful computers changed the landscape of computing across the globe. This chapter looks at the introduction of one machine, the BBC Microcomputer, and its influence on the culture of computing in Britain.
