CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTER FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION

Computer has actually been around since prehistoric times . But at the time it was only used as a tool to calculate , in addition to the components already very modest . New at the time of the transition period (c. 70th century -an) computers began to be developed . Here are the specs from generation to generation :


1 . Generation I (1940-1959)

Army? Components are vacuum flask ( vacuum tube) to sirkuitnya .
 All input and output is done via the card Plong
The program can only be made ​​with the machine language : Assembler
Physical size of the computer , requiring extensive space .
Fast heat.
Less quick process .
Small storage capacity .
Require large electric Dya .
Orientation on business apps


2 . GENERATION II (1959-1964)

Sirkutinya be a transistor .
Programs can be made with high-level language ( high level language) , such as FORTRAN , COBOL , ALGOL .
 Using external storage in the form of Magnetic Tape and Magnetic Disk.
The capacity of the main memory is developed from Magnetic Core Storage.
The process is much faster operation , the millions of operations per second .
The capacity of the main memory is large enough .
Physical size computer smaller than the first generation computers .
The process was quick operation .
Need a little more electrical power .
Oriented business and engineering .


1 . GE 3 . GENERATION III (1964-1970)

The components used are ICs ( Integrated Circuits) .


Rising from its software .
The ability to perform multiprocessing and multitasking.
Have used visual display terminals and can produce sound .


Faster processing speeds .


Larger memory capacity .


Use electricity more sparingly.


Smaller physical form .
Prices are cheap .


1 . 4 . Generation IV (1970-1980 's)

         Using Large Scale Integration ( LSI) which is the compaction of IC made ​​thousands of keeping a chip ICs mentioned .
Developed using micro computers and micro processors in the form of semiconductor memory chips for computers.


1 . GE 5 . GENERATION V ( 1980 - present )

Mengguakan LSI (Large Scale Integration ), a microprocessor thousands compaction into a microprocessor .
Increased speed of data access also view pictures already resolution ( image quality ) is nice and brown and multimedia .
Computers become more intelligent functions and the ability to increasingly sophisticated ..
His physical being smaller and medium


1 . GE 6 . GENERATION VI (Future)

           the sixth generation of computer uses components of ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration ), which can contain millions of components in a single chip . Besides the specs the future of which is more sophisticated and cheaper, has the ability of them to see, hear , speak , and think and be able to draw conclusions as humans. on the development of the sixth -generation computer , the computer architecture and organization changed the computer once. In terms of architecture , there is no longer a computer program ( programless computer) . While in terms of organization , this computer will be smaller and more sophisticated capabilities .


1 . GENERATION III (1964-1970)

The components used are ICs ( Integrated Circuits) .
Rising from its software .
The ability to perform multiprocessing and multitasking.
Have used visual display terminals and can produce sound .
Faster processing speeds .
Larger memory capacity .
Use electricity more sparingly.
Smaller physical form .
Prices are cheap .
