History of Computers
Posted by admin On June - 9 - 2011
ENIAC( Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was the first general-purpose electronic
computer. It was a Turing-complete digital computer capable of being reprogrammed to solve a full range
of computing problems.]
ENIAC was designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army’s Ballistic Research
Laboratory. When ENIAC was announced in 1946 it was heralded in the press as a “Giant Brain”. It
boasted speeds one thousand times faster than electro-mechanical machines, a leap in computing power
that no single machine has since matched. This mathematical power, coupled with general-purpose
programmability, excited scientists and industrialists. The inventors promoted the spread of these new
ideas by teaching a series of lectures on computer architecture.
The ENIAC’s design and construction was financed by the United States Army during World War II. The
construction contract was signed on June 5, 1943, and work on the computer began in secret by the
University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering starting the following month under
the code name “Project PX”. The completed machine was announced to the public the evening of February
14, 1946 and formally dedicated the next day at the University of Pennsylvania, having cost almost
$500,000 (nearly $6 million in 2010, adjusted for inflation). It was formally accepted by the U.S. Army
Ordnance Corps in July 1946. ENIAC was shut down on November 9, 1946 for a refurbishment and a
memory upgrade, and was transferred to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland in 1947. There, on July 29,
1947, it was turned on and was in continuous operation until 11:45 p.m. on October 2, 1955.
ENIAC was conceived and designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert of the University of
Pennsylvania.[9] The team of design engineers assisting the development included Robert F. Shaw
(function tables), Chuan Chu (divider/square-rooter), Thomas Kite Sharpless (master programmer),
Arthur Burks (multiplier), Harry Huskey (reader/printer) and Jack Davis (accumulators).

Computer-aided design (CAD), also known as computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), is the
use of computer technology for the process of design and design-documentation. Computer Aided
Drafting describes the process of drafting with a computer.
CADD software, or environments, provide the user with input-tools for the purpose of streamlining
design processes; drafting, documentation, and manufacturing processes. CADD output is often in the
form of electronic files for print or machining operations. The development of CADD-based software is
in direct correlation with the processes it seeks to economize; industry-based software (construction,
manufacturing, etc.) typically uses vector-based (linear) environments whereas graphic-based software
utilizes raster-based (pixelated) environments.
Virtual Memory
Virtual Memory is a feature of an operating system that enables a process to use a memory (RAM)
address space that is independent of other processes running in the same system, and use a space that is
larger than the actual amount of RAM present, temporarily relegating some contents from RAM to a disk,
with little or no overhead.
ROM
ROM – Read-only memory: On ROM, data is prerecorded for read only which can not be removed. ROM
is nonvolatile and it retains its contents regardless the computer is on or off. Most personal computers
contain a small amount of ROM that stores critical programs such as the program that boots the
computer. In addition, ROMs are used in calculators and peripheral devices such as laser printers, whose
fonts are often stored in ROMs. There are a few variations of ROM such as programmable read-only
memory(PROM), which is manufactured as blank chips on which data can be written with a special device
called a PROM programmer.
RAM

RAM – Random access memory: whose contents can be accessed (read, write and remove) in any order.
This is in contrast to sequential memory devices such as magnetic tapes, discs and drums, in which the
mechanical movement of the storage medium forces the computer to access data in a fixed order. RAM is
usually used for primary storage in computers to hold active information such as data and programs.
Common forms of RAM are: SRAM (Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM).
You can also interact with windows by dragging them with the mouse:
