Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.1 The Invention of the ComputerIt 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. 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20世纪30年代到40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, 而且是通用的。

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.1 The Invention of the ComputerOne of the first computerlike devices was developed in Germany by Konrad Zuse in 1941. Called the Z3, it was general-purpose, storedprogram machine with many 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 machines was a true computer, however, because they were not entirely electronic.第一个类似计算机的装臵之一是1941年由德国的Konrad Zuse研制的， 叫做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 是机械的。另一台机电式计算机器是由霍华德.艾坎在IBM的资助下于 1943年在哈佛大学研制的。它被称为自动序列控

制计算器Mark I,或简称 哈佛Mark I。然而，这些机器都不是真正的计算机,因为它们不是完全电 子化的。计算机专业英语1-6

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.1 The Invention of the Computer1.1.1 The ENIAC

Perhaps the most influential of the early computerlike devices was the Electronic Numerical Integrator 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.也许早期最具影响力的类似计算机的装臵应该是电子数字积分计算机， 或简称ENIAC。它是由宾夕凡尼亚大学的J. Presper Eckert 和John Mauchly 研制的。该工程于1943年开始，并于1946年完成。这台机器极 其庞大，重达30吨，而且包含18,000多个真空管。

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.1 The Invention of the Computer1.1.1 The ENIAC

The 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 general-purpose electronic device, it did not have a stored program. Therefore, it did not have all the characteristics of a computer .ENIAC是当时重要的成就。它是第一台通用型电子计算机器，并能够 执行每秒数千次运算。然而,它是由开关和继电器控制的，必须手工设 定。 因此，虽然它是一个通用型电子装臵，但是它没有储存程序。 因 此,它不具备计算机的所有特征。

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.1 The Invention of the Computer1.1.1 The ENIAC While 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 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ENIAC的研制中，一个天才的数学家Von Neuman(冯.诺伊曼)加入 到 Eckert和Mauchly团队,他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, 或简称EDVAC,是第一部包括了计 算机所有特征的机器。然而,直到1951年，它一直没有完成。

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.1 The Invention of the Computer1.1.1 The ENIAC

Before the EDVAC was finished, several other machines were built 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 Ca

mbridge, England. It first operated in May of 1949 and is probably the world’s first electronic stored-program, general-purpose computer 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 EDVAC 完 成 之 前 ， 其 他 一 些 机 器 建 成 了 ， 它 们 吸 收 了 Eckert 、 Mauchly和Neuman设计的要素。其中一部是在英国剑桥研制的电子延迟 存储自动计算机,或简称EDSAC,它在1949年5月首次运行，它可能是世 界的第一台电子储存程序、通用型计算机投入运行。在美国运行的第一 部计算机是二进制自动计算机,或简称BINAC,它在1949年8月投入运行。计算机专业英语1-10

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.1 The Invention of the Computer1.1.2 The UNIVAC ILike 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 financial 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. 像他们之前的其他计算机先驱一样,Eckert和Mauchly在1947年组成了一家 公司开发商业计算机。公司名叫Eckert-Mauchly计算机公司。他们的目标 是设计并建造通用自动计算机或UNIVAC。因为难以获得财政支持，他们不 得不在1950年把公司卖给了Remington Rand公司。Eckert 和Mauchly继续 在Remington Rand公司从事UNIVAC的研制工作，并在1951年取得成功。众 所周知的UNIVAC I机器是世界上第一部商业化计算机。计算机专业英语1-11

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.2 Computer Generations1.2.1 First-Generation Computers: 1951~1958 First-generation computers were characterized by the use of vacuum tubes as their principal electronic component. Vacuum tubes are bulky and produce a lot of heat, so first-generation computers were large and required extensive air conditioning to keep them cool. In addition, because vacuum tubes do not operate very fast, these computers were relatively slow. 第一代计算机的特色是使用真空管为其主要电子器件。真空管体积大且 发热严重,因此第一代计算机体积庞大，并且需要大量的空调设备保持冷却。 此外, 因为真空管运行不是很快，这些计算机运行速度相对较慢。 The UNIVAC I was the first commercial computer in this generation. As noted earlier, it was used in the Census Bureau in 1951. It was also the first computer to be used in a business application. In 1954, General Electric took delivery of a UNIVAC I and used it for some of its business data processing. UNIVAC I是第一代中最早的商业化计算机。如前所述，它在1951年被用 于人口普查局。它还是第一部用于商业应用的计算机。在1954年,通用电气 接收了UNIVAC I,并用它进行一些商业数据处理。计算机专业英语1-14

1.2 Computer Generations1.2.1 First-Generation Computers: 1951~1958The UNIVAC I was not the most popular first-generation computer, however. This honor goes to the IBM 650. It was first delivered in 1955 before Remington Rand could come out with a successor to the UNIVAC I. With the IBM 650, IBM captured the majority of the computer market, a position it still holds today. 然而,UNIVAC I并不是最流行的第一代计算机。这一荣誉属于 IBM 650。它在Remington Rand能够造出UNIVAC I的后续产 品之前的1955年首次交付使用。凭借IBM 650,IBM占有了大半 计算机市场，它在今天仍然保持这一位臵。

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.2 Computer Generations1.2.1 First-Generation Computers: 1951~1958At the same time that hardware was evolving, software was developing. The first computers were programmed in machine language, but during the first computer generation, the idea of programming language translation and high-level languages occurred. Much

of the credit for these ideas goes to Grace Hopper, who, as a Navy lieutenant in 1945, learned to program the Harvard Mark I. In 1952, she developed the first programming language translator, followed by others in later years. She also developed a language called Flow-matic in 1957, which formed the basis for COBOL, the most commonly used business programming language today. 同时，硬件在进化,软件也在发展。第一部计算机用机器语言编程，但是在 第一代计算机期间，程序语言翻译的概念和高级语言出现了。这些主意大 部分归功于Grace Hopper,她在1954年是一名海军上尉，学习为哈佛Mark I 计算机编程。在1952年，她开发了第一种编程语言翻译器,在稍后的数年内 为 其 他 人 所 效 仿 。 她 还 在 1957 年 开 发 了 一 种 称 为 Flow-matic 的 语 言 , 为 COBOL——今天最广泛应用的商业编程语言——奠定了基础。计算机专业英语1-16

This language became the first widely used high-level language. Also, the first simple operating systems became available with first-generation computers. 在第一代计算机期间, 软件方面的其他的进展包括1957年 FORTRAN语言的设计。这种语言成为第一种广泛使用的高级 语言。同时, 第一个简单的操作系统随着第一代计算机而出现。

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.2 Computer Generations1.2.2 Second-Generation Computers: 1959~1963 In the second generation of computers, transistors replaced vacuum tubes. Although invented in 1948, the first all-transistor computer did not become available until 1959. Transistors are smaller and less expensive than vacuum tubes, and they operate faster and produce less heat. Hence, with secondgeneration computers, the size and cost of computers decreased, their speed increased, and their air-conditioning needs were reduced.在第二代计算机中，晶体管取代了真空管。虽然发明于1948年,但第一台全晶体管计 算机直到1959年才成为现实。晶体管比真空管体积小、价格低，而且运行快而发热 少。因此，随着第二代计算机的出现，计算机的体积和成本降低、速度提高，且它 们对空调的需要减少。

Many companies that had not previously sold computer entered the industry with the second generation. One of these companies that still makes computers is Control Data Corporation (CDC). They were noted for making high-speed computers for scientific work.许多先前不经销计算机的公司随着第二代计算机的出现进入计算机行业，其中今天 仍然制造计算机的公司之一是控制数据公司(CDC),他们以制造用于科学

工作的高速 计算机而著名。计算机专业英语1-18

Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers

1.2 Computer Generations1.2.2 Second-Generation Computers: 1959~1963 Remintong Rand, now called Sperr-Rand Corporation, made several secondgeneration UNIVAC computers. IBM, however, continued to dominate the industry. One of the most popular second-generation computers was the IBM 1401, which was a medium-sized computer used by many businesses. Remintong Rand,现在叫做Sperr-Rand公司,制造了一些第二代UNIVAC计 算机。然而，IBM继续称霸计算机行业。最流行的第二代计算机之一是 IBM 1401, 这是一部许多企业使用的中型计算机。 All computers at this time were mainframe computers costing over a million dollars. The first minicomputer became available in 1960 and cost about $120,000. This was the PDP-1, manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). 当时所有的计算机都是价值百万元以上的大型计算机。第一台小型计算机 产生于1960年，价值12万美元，它就是由数据设备公司(DEC)制造的PDP-1。
