    3. The impact of the evolution of computer hardware and the accompanying evolution of operating system software is as follow: As experience with a combination of hardware and software matures; users and engineers gain new visions of what they would like to do next. New hardware is usually paralleled by operating system and system software development. The fielding of new systems results in user and operator feedback that leads to operating system and system software improvement. Innovative users try equipment and software for applications not envisioned by the hardware and software vendors. Successes lead to additional sales and use, which leads to further supporting software development. If there is perceived economic benefit, the hardware vendor will seek ways to adapt to the new needs without necessarily sacrificing basic capabilities. Often this consists of creating a more efficient interface.…

    Born April 27, 1955 in the United States capital, Washington D.C. Dr. Eric Emerson Schmidt spent most of his early childhood in Northern Virginia, and Italy, where his father taught at John Hopkins in Bologna. After only two short years, spent during his third and fourth grade, while overseas, by 1965 he was relocated back to the United States, in Blacksburg, Virginia, where his father was appointed chairman of the Department of Economics at Virginia Tech. As a young boy, Schmidt was very technically adept, spending most of his time dissembling and reassembling things. At the ripe age of fifteen, while he attended Yorktown High School, he got his first exposure to computing, utilizing the school’s time-shared terminal on an ASR-33 teletype machine. His father had been so impressed that he rented his very own terminal at home, where Schmidt continued working for the school, rewriting software, which at that time consisted of only tape with punched holes.…

    Starting with a growing need to more easily compute numbers and calculations, people have been trying to create a machine of mathematical convenience since the early 1900s. However it wasn’t until 1946 when Professors John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert successfully built the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC), the world’s first general purpose computer, which cost $500,000 and filled a 20 foot by 40 foot room. And in 1951 Mauchly and Eckert create the UNIVAC, the first business and government applicable commercial computer. From this point the inventions and improvements start to gain speed. In 1954, the FORTRAN computer programming language is born and becomes the first successful high level programming language. And just a few years later in 1958, Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce introduce the integrated circuit, or more commonly known as the computer chip. 1964, Douglas Engelbart presents a computer prototype showcasing the features of a computer mouse and a graphical user interface (GUI), which allows interaction by use of images and icons instead of text commands. This marks the shift of the computer from a machine only marketable to scientists and mathematicians to a technology that is accessible and appealing to the general public. In…

    Sop Computer Science

    The joy of being a computer engineer lies in the amazing ability of complexity synthesis that lies at my disposal. The inexplicable sense of magic, which I felt when my first "hello world " got displayed on screen, is something I have never experienced in any other phase of my academic pursuit “Hello, World”; the first and perhaps the simplest of the programs any novice programmer executes. Yet, its seeming simplicity lent a magic-like feeling to programming, something that I have found hard to ascribe to any science. Since all the things that made the program work were yet to be explained, I was left with an uneasiness that persisted through the many progressively complex programs that I wrote. It was during my fifth semester at college, when I was trying to make a stepper motor work in the Microprocessors laboratory, that I saw how a program could influence something in the real world. The fact that an “unreal” piece of text that I had keyed in could move something in the real world fascinated me. The sight of the stepper motor turn addressed the discomfort in a subtle but very important way. Soon, I realized that looking at programs from the hardware perspective and understanding how things worked “under the hood” fascinated me and added a new dimension to my programming skills. It is this fascination for the hardware software co-design that led me to pursue a career in embedded systems development..…
