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).

2nd generation Processors from Intel for visibly smart


performance
Posted by admin On April - 18 - 2011

2/19/12 Computer GK General Knowledge Current Affairs GK Today Quiz Trivia from General Knowledge Today

The 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family brings visibly


smart performance to your business PCs—delivering benefits you can
readily see and appreciate. Users can be more productive. PCs and
laptops can be better protected. Your operation can be a smooth-
running machine. Clearly, 2nd generation Intel Core processors are
the smart choice for business.

Intelligence runs in the family


Smart performance is a trait of every member of the 2nd generation
Intel Core processor family. That’s because every 2nd generation Intel
Core processor features remarkably intelligent technologies. Examples?

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 automatically dials up the processor clock speed when
demanding tasks require additional power, then dials down to save energy whenever possible.¹
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) and other innovative Intel®
technologies enable four-way (or eight-way) processing that makes multi-tasking between business
applications quick and effortless.

And smart performance is literally on display in 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors, as they offer
stunning visual performance due to built-in visuals . There’s no need for dedicated graphics cards (or the
added cost and power requirements that come with them).

Greater performance enables seamless security


Security shouldn’t get in the way of user productivity. And that’s another reason why the exceptional
performance of 2nd generation Intel Core processors is so important. It enables security applications and
protocols to run efficiently and unobtrusively in the background. In many cases, users won’t even know
their PCs are actively being secured. And that’s the way it should be.

New PCs for Your New Compute Environment


IT is changing at warp speed, and PCs must keep pace. That’s why 2nd generation Intel® Core™
processors bring smart performance and new capabilities to secure mobility, online rich media, and

CAD and CADD


Posted by admin On November - 25 - 2010

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,ROM and RAM


Posted by admin On November - 25 - 2010

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

www.generalknowledgetoday.com/category/computer-gk 18/27
2/19/12 Computer GK General Knowledge Current Affairs GK Today Quiz Trivia from General Knowledge Today

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).
