论文部分内容阅读
本文是直接从1959年美国东部计算机会议上的一篇报告翻译过来的。文章里所谈到的“计算机的未来”,实际上只局限於未来计算机的製造工艺。文章里作者所提出的某些观点,例如关於微型化的定义,系统操作代数的作用,特别是关於第三代计算机预测等都是需要批判地加以考慮的。这篇文章只能代表作者及资本主义国家的一部分计算机专家对於未来计算机在微型化方面的一些设想。不过,从这里我们可以或多或少地看到一些目前计算机在微型化及製造工艺自动化方面的发展动向,以及採用这些新技术对计算机设计可能引起的影响从这个意义上来看,这篇文章对我们可能有一些参考价值。
This article is translated directly from a report at the 1959 East American Computer Conference. The article “The Future of Computers” is actually confined to the computer manufacturing process of the future. Some of the ideas put forward by the authors in the essay, such as the definition of miniaturization, the role of system-operated algebra, and especially the third-generation computer predictions, need to be critically considered. This essay can only represent some of the ideas that computers and computer experts make about the miniaturization of computers in the future, as part of the authors and capitalist countries. However, from here we can more or less see some of the current computer trends in the miniaturization and manufacturing process automation, as well as the use of these new technologies may affect the computer design in this sense, this article We may have some reference value.
