- W999960343 abstract "This chapter discusses that in order to gain an understanding of the place of minicomputers in the hierarchy of all computer systems, it is necessary to review the history of the development of the general purpose computer. The development of the minicomputer is the sequel to the development of the small process control computers. A minicomputer has a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, and a scientifically oriented instruction set and operates on a stored program concept in exactly the same manner as does the larger EDP computer system. The main distinguishing characteristics of minicomputers have been their relative lower cost, their applications, and the types of software packages that have been available with them on delivery. As the application of minicomputers has grown and as the costs of memory have dropped, several minicomputer systems have become available that contain more than 32,768 words of memory. The chapter also explores that some minicomputer systems offer specific software subroutine functions that will enhance the operation of the minicomputer system to an extent that it operates many times faster than without the microprogrammed firmware package. The short-term outlook for the minicomputers is very favorable, with a continuing growth in applications. The microcomputer is expected to absorb some of the applications now being served by the smaller minicomputer systems, but in most cases the microcomputer is finding application in completely new areas. The conventional minicomputer system has grown much larger and will become a more significant factor in the competition for the smaller business data processing applications." @default.
