Third Generation of Computers (1965-1974)
Hi Friends, Today I am posting about the third generation of computers, so, without wasteing time lets go ahead .......
The third-generation computers used ICs (SSI and MSI) for
CPU component. In the beginning third generation computers used magnetic core
memory, but later on semiconductor memories (RAMs and ROMs) where used.
Semiconductor memory were LSI chips. Magnetic disks, and tapes were used as
secondary memories. Cache memory was also incorporated in the computers of
third generation. Micro programming, parallel processing (pipelining,
multiprocessor system, etc.), multiprocessor, multi programming, multi system
(time-share system), etc. were introduced. The concept of virtual memory was
also introduced. The examples of third generation computers are: IBM/370 series
(1970), CDC 7600 (1969), PDP 11 (16-bit minicomputer, 1970), CDC’s CYBER-175
and STAR-100,etc. I/O devices were punched cards, magnetic tapes and printers.
Hope you should like and understand about The Third Generation of computers, So don't forget to share this post and came back to read about The Fourth Generation Of Computers..
Thanks For Visiting :-)
Good Night/Morning :-)
