The Bigest Computer


Don’t ever think that the first computer is like now, you wrong!. History started from Abakus or Sempoa, existing in China since IV century before Christ, and the Mediterranean region in the ancient Greek and Roman. However, as development has stopped, until Wilhalm Shickard, yeman astronom Johannes Keppler, mechanical calculator to find the first in Germany (± 1623). Nine years later, France ilmuan Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) sculpture step with the new automatic calculator eight digit column, which can operate the new and Answer.
Thirty years later it developed a tool for division and multiplication by Mathematics Germany, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz (1646-1716). He also developed a binary system, the latter is very involved in thinking pattern and language computer.
Luckily at 1801 French Inventor, Joseph Marie Jacquart (1752-1834) to find means of weaving Jacquart code that works according to the form of holes punched card. Needle will pass if found holes, but not able to thread the meeting when the card surface.
This tool inspire mathematics English inventor, Charles Babbage (1792-1871). To develop a computer or mechanical machines annalists have all the basic elements of computer automatically. But all the projects come to a standstill because no parts that fit. It is more the lack of funds.
In 1930, Vannevar Bush, the U.S. electrical engineer, developed a machine to complete the engine differential equation. This machine is considered a reliable analog computer.
Meanwhile, the new 14 years later, the digital computer in the form originally built successfully by Howard Aiken, professor at Harvard University, USA. Mark I, as its name, can do Answer in three seconds.
University of Pennsylvania did not want to lose. Two years later, the two the engineers, J. Presper Eckert, Jr.. and John William Mauchlay, build a computer or Electronical Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC). Machine weight more than 27 tons that need room 140 m2. Runs to 150 kilowatt electricity needs, the computer equivalent sized house is 1000 times faster and much more on Mark LI, he can do Answer 5000 and 1000 multiplication per second.
Eckert and Muchlay cooperation ago with birth Hungary mathematician United States, John Von Neuman. The results in the year 1951 they designed the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC), which affect the next generation of computer design. Does not want to fritter away, in that they also build a more advanced computer. Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC) I, so that the first commercial computer. He also can use alphabet characters and numbers.
Thanks to the transistor in 1947 findings, which appear fully computer engineers work transistored United States, Cray Syemour year 1958. However, the findings of the Integrated Circuit (1960s) caused a revolution in terms of working capacity and size. Because the transistor is able to save thousands in little silicon chip, IC allows more concise form of a computer with high-speed Mainframe and large memory capacity.
The micro processor to enter the race in the data processing speed Giga (GHz). For example, AMD Athlon and a 1 Ghz. Ill Pentium a 1.13 GHz Intel, and Pentium IV Willamet alias that is designed to work at 1.5 GHz. Growth computer with the sticky human life.
While finding personal computer (PC) made Altair (1975). New year 1977, when two American students, Steven P. Jobs and Stepen G. Wozniak, founded Apple Computer Company, PC II was born with the Apple II price. Computer more affordable price. Even in Indonesia have a computer "cicada" is sweet in demand, because its content can mix suit consumers, such as Hamburger. (Intisari Magazine)
