ability to perform parallel operation, improvement of instructions, much smaller ,
reduction in cost drastically
4th - silicon chips, high resolution monitors, graphics improved,speed improved, size
& cost reduced.

Mainframe
Mainframe is an industry term for a large computer. The name comes from the way the machine is build up: all units (processing, communication etc.) were hung into a frame. Thus the main computer is build into a frame, therefore: Mainframe

Charecteristics
A mainframe has 1 to 16 CPU's (modern machines more)
Memory ranges from 128 Mb over 8 Gigabyte on line RAM
Its processing power ranges from 80 over 550 Mips
It has often different cabinets for Storage I/O RAM

Characteristics
centralized computing opposite from distributed computing. Meaning all computing takes (physically) place on the mainframe itself: the processor section .
main purpose is to run commercial applications of Fortune 1000 businesses and other large-scale computing purposes.

IBM 4381 mainframe processor from 1985
16th July 2011 27CPU , Gen & Current trends
The First Generation, 1951-1956
Marked the beginning of commercial computing. High-speed Vacuum Tube Computers operated without operating system. Operators who would select the job to be run,
initially load the system program, run the user’s program, and then select another job, and so forth.
16th July 2011 28CPU , Gen & Current trends
Programs were written in high level, procedure-oriented languages.
Application programs were run one at a time, Translators with absolute computer addresses. Executable program were made by combining
object program along with any existing library programs.
There was no provision for moving a program to different location in storage for any reason.
16th July 2011 29CPU , Gen & Current trends
Development of programming languages was moving away from the basic machine languages;
1st assembly language, and 2nd procedure oriented languages, COBOL The most significant being the development of
FORTRAN & PASCAL.
16th July 2011 30CPU , Gen & Current trends
The second Generation, 1956-1964
2nd Gen computer hardware were made of Transistors which replaced the vacuum tubes.
Important changes in hardware and software architectures occurred during this period.
The computer systems were Punch Card and Tape-oriented Systems.
Random access devices like Disks came to use towards the end of the second generation.
Program processing was done by large centralized computers operated under mono programmed batch processing operating systems.
16th July 2011 31CPU , Gen & Current trends
Programs were executed by processing the Machine Instructions in a strictly sequential order.
CPU (high speed electronic component ) I/O operations which involved mechanical devices
(card readers and tape drives) that were slower. The second generation was a period of intense
operating system development. Researchers began to experiment with multi-
programming and multiprocessing.
16th July 2011 32CPU , Gen & Current trends
The Third Generation, 1964-1979
Officially began in 1964 with IBM’s announcement of its System/360 family of computers.
Hardware technology began to use integrated circuits (ICs)
Yielded significant advantages in both speed and economy.
Operating system were development which handled multiprogramming.
These O/S could handle I/O buffering in the form of spooling operating systems.
16th July 2011 33CPU , Gen & Current trends
These systems reader could move input jobs from cards to disk,
System writer to move job output from disk to printer, tape, or cards.
The spooling operating system in fact had multiprogramming since more than one program was resident in main storage at the same time.
Users shared not only the system’ hardware but also its software resources and file system disk space.
16th July 2011 34CPU , Gen & Current trends
The third generation developed both computer hardware and the accompanying operating system.
During this period, the topic of operating systems became, in reality, a major element of the discipline of computing.
16th July 2011 35CPU , Gen & Current trends
The minicomputers of the third generation.
Examples are Microsoft’s DOS for IBM-compatible personal computers and UNIX for workstation.
However, many of these desktop computers are now connected as networked or distributed systems.
16th July 2011 36CPU , Gen & Current trends
The Fourth Generation, 1979 - Present
4th generation had electronic circuits which replaced the ICs ex. the PC & the workstation
The component technology of the 3rd generation, was replaced by very large scale integration (VLSI), in the fourth generation.
The inexpensive workstation-class computer capable of supporting multiprogramming and time-sharing.
O/s supports personal computers and workstations too.

The fourth generation had electronic circuits which replaced the ICs seen in the personal computer and the workstation. The component technology of the third generation, was replaced by very large scale integration (VLSI), in the fourth generation.
We now have the inexpensive workstation-class computer capable of supporting multiprogramming and time-sharing. Hence the operating systems that supports today’s personal computers and workstations look much like those which were available for the minicomputers of the third generation. Examples are Microsoft’s DOS for IBM-compatible personal computers and UNIX for workstation.
However, many of these desktop computers are now connected as networked or distributed systems.
