- W87040943 abstract "Chapter 2, which traced a brief history of computation, included a short survey of early computer hardware devices invented by Leibniz, Pascal and Babbage. These early brave attempts to expedite computation by means of machines were hampered by their forced reliance on the only available technology of their eras, the mechanics of gears and wheels. We shall regard the Pascal and Leibniz machines as interesting museum pieces. Only Babbage’s nineteenth century computer, called the analytical engine, had design features, such as programmability and punched card input of data and programs, that influenced the design of modern computers. It was not until the twentieth century that electric/electronic components, such as electromagnetic relays and electronic vacuum tubes and transistors, were widely used in the fabrication of computer hardware. We shall begin our exposition of the Hardware Side of Computer Science with these electric/electronic–based devices. Our point of view of Computer Hardware, as explained previously, is the viewpoint apparently adopted by Turing which we characterize as viewing Hardware and Software as two indissoluble related sides of the “computation coin”. He emphasized the Software side in his initial studies as possessing the motivating ideas for a theoretical computer design but was inevitably drawn into detailed engineering studies on the Hardware side as a result of his involvement in the ACE computer project." @default.
