A mainframe is just a physically very large computer, it is programmed no differently than minicomputers and microcomputers. All computers were mainframe computers before the early 1960s (because of the size of vacuum tubes and the first discrete transistors), when discrete transistors and then integrated circuits made possible the smaller minicomputers. In 1971 Intel introduced the microprocessor integrated circuit making the even smaller microcomputers possible.
What else can I help you with?
Which computers are used to receive data from satellites?
mini and mainframe computers
How do you write mainframe program?
Nothing special. Of course before you start, you should know how to compile, link, run and debug your programs, but this goes for every platform.
How do you recognize bytecode files?
you have to hack into the mainframe
What is the difference between MF Cobol and Mainframe Cobol?
It depends on the target platform. If you want to use MF COBOL on the mainframe then the answer is none, MF supports the mainframe as a target by using MF EEE. You write and unit test the code on the PC and then send the source off to the mainframe for compilation and final testing.
For what visual basic is used?
it is used to create or build new programs which are useful to us in a certain way
Can Linux be used as a mainframe?
Yes, Linux can be used on a mainframe.
What is prc in mainframe?
In mainframe computing, PRC stands for "Program Request Control." It is a mechanism used to manage and control the execution of programs, ensuring that requests for resources or services are handled efficiently. PRC helps in coordinating tasks, managing workload, and optimizing performance in mainframe environments.
What topology did Mainframe computers first use?
