Generation of Computer
Generation of Computer
This computer used thousands of vacuum tube ENIAC, EDVAC, UNIVAC, EDSAC and IBM 701 belong to this generation. Vacuum whose a high speed electronic device available at that time. The vacuum tube good perform operation this generation and they were replete as 1st generation the instruction where return and machine language and assembly language and where input a computer punched paper card.
Second Generation (1959-1965)
In second generation of computer transistor where used which where a better electronic device as compere to vacuum tube. The high level programming language such as FORTRNT (Formula translation), COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language), ALGOL (Algorithm Language), etc.
Third Generation (1965-1971)
Integrate circuit (IC) where developed in 3rd generation which consisted combination of transistors, resistors and capacitors at the start the SSI (Small Scale Integration) whose use which contain 10-20 compounds letters MSI (Medium Scale Integration) whose used which of 100 compounds.
The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. The IC was invented by Jack Kilby.
Fourth Generation (1971-1980)
In this generation LSI (Large Scale Integration) made possible to integrate thousands of compounds on single chip. LSI whose followed by VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) which contained 1 million on a single chips.
Fifth Generation (1980-onwards)
The ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Interface) which allowed millions of compounds in a single chip become popular this generation.
- Portable PC is (notebook Computer) which were smaller then PCs where popular in this generation.
- Optical Disk such as CDROM (compact Disk Read Only Memory), DVD (Digital Video Disk) become popular.
- Internet Become very popular and it allowed the user to access large amount of information stored anywhere in the world.
- High up-time due to hot-pluggable components.
- This generation used stinted high level programming language that allowed exit program between differences.
