History of Computing (Computer Hardware)

What is Von Neumann architecture

-computer design

-stores both programs and data in memory

-flexible, programmable systems

What concept did the von Neumann architecture replace?

stored program instructions in plugboards rather than memory.

Why is Von neumann model important

used in modern computers

What are logic gates in computing?

-building blocks of digital circuits

-represent boolean logic

How are logic gates connected to Turing Machine

-Turing Machine can be built with logic gates

What is the ENIAC, and why is it important?

-one of first electronic computers

-vacuum tubes for calculations

what technology replaced vacuum tubes

-Silicon Transistors

-Smaller, faster, more reliable

What are integrated Circuits(iCs)

-chips combine multiple transistors into one small package

-modern computing

What is intel 4004

-first microprocessor

-released 1969

-2300 transistors

What is moores law

-number of transistors on chip doubles every two years

-exponential growth in computing power
