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 Thir...
