5、ory and Future of Computers It is hard to say exactly when the modern computer was invented.Starting in the 1930s and through the 1940s,a number of machines were developed that were like computers.But most of these machines did not have all the characteristics that we associate with computers today.
6、These characteristics are that the machine is electronic,that it has a stored program,and that it is general purpose.很难确切地说现代计算机是什么时候发明的。从很难确切地说现代计算机是什么时候发明的。从2020世纪世纪3030年代到年代到4040年代,年代,制造了许多类似计算机的机器。但是这些机器大部分没有今天我们所说的制造了许多类似计算机的机器。但是这些机器大部分没有今天我们所说的计算机的所有特征。这些特性是:机器是电子的,具有储存的程序计算机的所有特征。这些特性是:机器是电子
7、的,具有储存的程序,而且而且是通用的。是通用的。1.1 The Invention of the Computer 5计算机专业英语Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 1.1 The Invention of the Computer One of the first computerlike devices was developed in Germany by Konrad Zuse in 1941.Called the Z3,it was general-purpose,stored-program machine with man
8、y electronic parts,but it had a mechanical memory.Another electromechanical computing machine was developed by Howard Aiken,with financial assistance from IBM,at Harvard University in 1943.It was called the Automatic Sequence Control Calculator Mark I,or simply the Harvard Mark I.Neither of these ma
9、chines was a true computer,however,because they were not entirely electronic.第一个类似计算机的装置之一是第一个类似计算机的装置之一是19411941年由德国的年由德国的Konrad ZuseKonrad Zuse研制的,研制的,叫做叫做Z3,Z3,它是通用型储存程序机器,具有许多电子部件,但是它的存储器它是通用型储存程序机器,具有许多电子部件,但是它的存储器是机械的。另一台机电式计算机器是由霍华德是机械的。另一台机电式计算机器是由霍华德.艾坎在艾坎在IBMIBM的资助下于的资助下于19431943年在哈佛大学研制的。
10、它被称为自动序列控制计算器年在哈佛大学研制的。它被称为自动序列控制计算器Mark I,Mark I,或简称哈佛或简称哈佛Mark IMark I。然而,这些机器都不是真正的计算机。然而,这些机器都不是真正的计算机,因为它们不是完全电子化因为它们不是完全电子化的。的。6计算机专业英语Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 1.1.1 The ENIACPerhaps the most influential of the early computerlike devices was the Electronic Numerical Integr
11、ator and Computer,or ENIAC.It was developed by J.Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania.The project began in 1943 and was completed in 1946.The machine was huge;it weighed 30 tons and contained over 18,000 vacuum tubes.也也许许早早期期最最具具影影响响力力的的类类似似计计算算机机的的装装置置应应该该是是电电子子数数字字积积分分
12、计计算算机机,或或简简称称ENIACENIAC。它它是是由由宾宾夕夕凡凡尼尼亚亚大大学学的的J.J.Presper Presper Eckert Eckert 和和John John Mauchly Mauchly 研研制制的的。该该工工程程于于19431943年年开开始始,并并于于19461946年年完完成成。这这台台机机器器极极其庞大,重达其庞大,重达3030吨,而且包含吨,而且包含18,00018,000多个真空管。多个真空管。1.1 The Invention of the Computer 7计算机专业英语Chapter 1 The History and Future of Com
13、puters 1.1.1 The ENIACThe ENIAC was a major advancement for its time.It was the first general-purpose,electronic computing machine and was capable of performing thousands of operations per second.It was controlled,however,by switches and plugs that had to be manually set.Thus,although it was a gener
14、al-purpose electronic device,it did not have a stored program.Therefore,it did not have all the characteristics of a computer.ENIAC是是当当时时重重要要的的成成就就。它它是是第第一一台台通通用用型型电电子子计计算算机机器器,并并能能够够执执行行每每秒秒数数千千次次运运算算。然然而而,它它是是由由开开关关和和继继电电器器控控制制的的,必必须须手手工工设设定定。因因此此,虽虽然然它它是是一一个个通通用用型型电电子子装装置置,但但是是它它没没有有储储存存程程序序。因因此此
15、,它它不具备计算机的所有特征。不具备计算机的所有特征。1.1 The Invention of the Computer 8计算机专业英语Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 1.1.1 The ENIACWhile working on the ENIAC,Eckert and Mauchly were joined by a brilliant mathematician,John von Neuman.Together,they developed the idea of a stored program computer.This
16、machine,called the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer,or EDVAC,was the first machine whose design included all the characteristics of a computer.It was not completed,however,until 1951.在在ENIAC的研制中,一个天才的数学家的研制中,一个天才的数学家Von Neuman(冯冯.诺伊曼诺伊曼)加入加入到到 Eckert和和Mauchly团队团队,他们一起提出了储存程序计算机的主意。这部他
17、们一起提出了储存程序计算机的主意。这部机器被称做电子离散变量自动计算机机器被称做电子离散变量自动计算机,或简称或简称EDVAC,是第一部包括了计是第一部包括了计算机所有特征的机器。然而算机所有特征的机器。然而,直到直到1951年,它一直没有完成。年,它一直没有完成。1.1 The Invention of the Computer 9计算机专业英语Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 1.1.1 The ENIACBefore the EDVAC was finished,several other machines were built
18、that incorporated elements of the EDVAC design of Eckert,Mauchly,and von Neuman.One was the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Computer,or EDSAC,which was developed in Cambridge,England.It first operated in May of 1949 and is probably the worlds first electronic stored-program,general-purpose comput
19、er to become operational.The first computer to operate in the United States was the Binary Automatic Computer,or BINAC,which became operational in August of 1949.在在EDVAC完完成成之之前前,其其他他一一些些机机器器建建成成了了,它它们们吸吸收收了了Eckert、Mauchly和和Neuman设设计计的的要要素素。其其中中一一部部是是在在英英国国剑剑桥桥研研制制的的电电子子延延迟迟存存储储自自动动计计算算机机,或或简简称称EDSAC
20、,它它在在1949年年5月月首首次次运运行行,它它可可能能是是世世界界的的第第一一台台电电子子储储存存程程序序、通通用用型型计计算算机机投投入入运运行行。在在美美国国运运行行的的第第一一部计算机是二进制自动计算机部计算机是二进制自动计算机,或简称或简称BINAC,它在它在1949年年8月投入运行。月投入运行。1.1 The Invention of the Computer 10计算机专业英语Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 1.1 The Invention of the Computer 1.1.2 The UNIVAC ILike
21、 other computing pioneers before them,Eckert and Mauchly formed a company in 1947 to develop a commercial computer.The company was called the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation.Their objective was to design and build the Universal Automatic Computer or UNIVAC.Because of difficulties of getting fina
22、ncial support,they had to sell the company to Remington Rand in 1950.Eckert and Mauchly continued to work on the UNIVAC at Remington Rand and completed it in 1951.Known as the UNIVAC I,this machine was the first commercially available computer.像像他他们们之之前前的的其其他他计计算算机机先先驱驱一一样样,Eckert,Eckert和和MauchlyMau
23、chly在在19471947年年组组成成了了一一家家公公司司开开发发商商业业计计算算机机。公公司司名名叫叫Eckert-MauchlyEckert-Mauchly计计算算机机公公司司。他他们们的的目目标标是是设设计计并并建建造造通通用用自自动动计计算算机机或或UNIVACUNIVAC。因因为为难难以以获获得得财财政政支支持持,他他们们不不得得不不在在19501950年年把把公公司司卖卖给给了了Remington Remington RandRand公公司司。Eckert Eckert 和和MauchlyMauchly继继续续在在Remington Remington RandRand公公司司从
