Analytical Engine Software

Vannevar Bush 1930'sDifferential Analyzer

It was an analog device. That is, it

could measure quantities that changed continuously, such as

temperature and air pressure. It used

vacuum tubes to switch electrical

signals that performed calculations.

Bush's machine could do 25 calculations in a few minutes.

Analytical engine

The engine had four components: the store (memory),

the mill (computational unit), the input section (punched card

reader) and the output section (punched and printed output).

This "engine" was completely mechanical and unfortunately

needed thousands of cogs, gears, and wheels for it to function.

Babbage was unable to produce most of these parts to the

degree of precision or tolerance needed due to the technology

of his time.

The store capacity was 1000 words of 50 decimal digits used to hold variables and results.The mill could accept operands from the store, add, subtract, multiply or divide them, and return a result to the store.The engine could read instructions from punched cards and carry them out, at times combining a second set of input data and compiling the numbers in the mill, then sending the results back to the store. Instruction variables included being able to test a number for a

positive or negative value. By inputting a different set of punch cards, different computations could be archived.The results or "output" could be punched into a copper engraver's plate with a steel die, thus making hardcopy data available to the user.Unfortunately Babbage never saw his project finished, he soon ran out of personal funds and the Government sponsorship soon dried up as well.

Features of 360

It was the first machine that can emulate (stimulate) the

other computers.

Solved the dilemma of binary-parallel versus serial

decimal with a compromise: the mechine had 32 bit

registers for binary arithmetic, but its memory was byte

oriented.

Super computers process trillions of instructions per second.

Main Frames

Mainframes are capable of processing

data at very high speed millions of

instructions per second and have access

to billions of characters of data.

Microcomputers

small-sized computers into which a microprocessor is built.

The Commodore

64 was one of the most

popular

microcomputers of its

era, and is the best-

selling model ofhome

computer of all time.[1]

Minicomputers

these computers are next to

mainframe computers, in terms

of speed and storage

capacity.

Personal Computers

These desktop computers

are also known as

microcomputers or

sometimes home

computers.

Computers that were

developed for personal

use. Commonly called

PC’s for short

Based on external appearance, different types of

personal computers have multiplied.

They can be classified as follows:

Desk-top type

Lap-top type

Notebook type, the size of A4 or B5 papers,

thin and light

Palm-top type

Notebook Computers

It is wonderfully portable and functional, and

they are popular with travelers who need a

computer that can bring with them.

Somewhat large, heavier versions of these

computers are known as Laptop computers.

can be used to keep

track of appointments and other business

information such as

computer names and
