章节摘录

　　In 1946, the world s first electronic computer, ENIAC （short for Electronic Numerical Inte- grator and Computer） , was made in the University of Pennsylvania. ENIAC contained more than 17,000 vacuum tubes and many other components. It was huge in size, but very simple in func- tions compared with todays computers. Its occurrence, however, signified a milestone with deep and persistent influence on human life and society in the future.　　The computer development, from the birth of the first electronic computer till present, can be approximately divided into 4 stages in accordance with the major components used in the comput-er.　　（ 1 ） Vacuum tube computers　　from 1946 when the first computer was successfully made to late 1950s.　　The vacuum tube was the key feature of the computers in this period. Machine language or assembly language was used for programming computers, with operation speed from about a few thousand instructions per second to tens of thousands per second.　　（2） Transistor computers　　from middle 1950s to late 1960s.　　The computers in this period used transistors as the major components, with smaller size and lower power consumption, but higher speed and reliability. The magnetic core was popularly used as the main memory while floppy disks and magnetic tapes were used as external storage media. High-level languages, such as COBOL, ALGOL, etc. , were utilized as the programming langua- ges. Operating systems emerged from the software.　　（3） Integrated circuit computers-from middle 1960s to early 1970s.　　The computers in this period used integrated circuits as the fundamental components. Its size was reduced ; while its power consumption and price were further lowered, and its speed and relia- bility were greatly raised. Semiconductor memory replaced magnetic core memory. Operating sys- tems were improved continually.
