  2. EDVAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDVAC

    EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was one of the earliest electronic computers. It was built by Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] : 626–628 Along with ORDVAC , it was a successor to the ENIAC .

    Von Neumann describes a detailed design of a "very high speed automatic digital computing system." He divides it into six major subdivisions: a central arithmetic part, CA; a central control part, CC; memory, M; input, I; output, O; and (slow) external memory, R, such as punched cards, Teletype tape, or magnetic wire or steel tape.

  4. The magazine said that the book was not easy to read, but that it would expose experienced programmers to both old and new topics. [8] A review of SICP as an undergraduate textbook by Philip Wadler noted the weaknesses of the Scheme language as an introductory language for a computer science course. [9]

  6. Informatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informatics

    Informatics (a combination of the words "information" and "automatic") is the study of computational systems. [1] [2] According to the ACM Europe Council and Informatics Europe, informatics is synonymous with computer science and computing as a profession, [3] in which the central notion is transformation of information.

  7. Unconventional computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_computing

    An analog computer is a type of computer that uses analog signals, which are continuous physical quantities, to model and solve problems. These signals can be electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic in nature. Analog computers were widely used in scientific and industrial applications, and were often faster than digital computers at the time.

  8. Predication (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predication_(computer...

    In computer architecture, predication is a feature that provides an alternative to conditional transfer of control, as implemented by conditional branch machine instructions. Predication works by having conditional ( predicated ) non-branch instructions associated with a predicate , a Boolean value used by the instruction to control whether the ...

  9. Containerization (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containerization_(computing)

    In software engineering, containerization is operating-system–level virtualization or application-level virtualization over multiple network resources so that software applications can run in isolated user spaces called containers in any cloud or non-cloud environment, regardless of type or vendor.
