A computer built using Very Large

Scale Integration (VLSI) integrated circuits, especially a microcomputer

based on a microprocesseor, or a parallel processor containing 2 to thousands of CPUs.

VLSI made it routine to fabricate an entire CPU,

main memory, or similar device with a single integrated circuit

that can be mass produced at very low cost. This has resulted in

new classes of machines such as personal computers,

and high performance parallel processors that contains thousands of CPUs

What is electro mechanical period in computer history?

roughly 1890 through 1960, it overlaps first and second generation electronic computers with some equipment still in use in the 1970s assisting third generation electronic computers for offline functions.


What were used in second generation of computer?

In second generation of computer transistors were used Transistors were took place instead of vaccume tubes in 1st generation High lever languages were used such as COBSL , FORTRAN and these were still used for some application Many finanacial programms were used in this computers In 2nd generation of computer the instructions was stored inside the computer memory Out standing features for 2nd generation of computer 1 very small in size 2 less expensive 3 more storage capacity 4 reduction of heat 5 faster speed


What is the difference between 1st and 2nd generation of computer?

First Generation Computers refer to ones with vacuum tubes and were really huge and required vast amounts of electricity. The programming was very limited and very complex USN machine language. Usually they were hardwired and the applications very limited. Second Generation Computer were built using transistors that were much smaller and required less power and space. General Purpose program languages were developed that could be moved from 1 computer to the next.

What is retroculturation and what are some examples of it?

Retroculturation pertains to the Hispanic community. It describes how a first generation of Hispanics that enter into a culture, for example, the US, and they start to assimilate to the American culture. The second generation wants to be completely American and they are losing their hispanic roots and culture. Then the third generation wants to reconnect with their heritage and make an effort to stay in touch with their culture.


What are the features of a fourth generation languages?

There is no such thing as a fourth generation language. Machine code is the first generation (the native language of the computer). Assembly language is the second generation (low-level symbolic language). All high-level (abstract) languages are third-generation. Although some languages claim to be fourth-generation or even fifth-generation, they are meaningless terms used by marketing types that tell you nothing about a language's capability.
