A NeXTcube workstation, the same type on which the World Wide Web was created by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in Switzerland. [1] A workstation is a special computer designed for technical or scientific applications. [2] Intended primarily to be used by a single user, [2] they are commonly connected to a local area network and run multi-user ...
The history of computing hardware starting at 1960 is marked by the conversion from vacuum tube to solid-state devices such as transistors and then integrated circuit (IC) chips. Around 1953 to 1959, discrete transistors started being considered sufficiently reliable and economical that they made further vacuum tube computers uncompetitive .
The initial design for what became Sun's first Unix workstation, the Sun-1, was conceived by Andy Bechtolsheim when he was a graduate student at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. Bechtolsheim originally designed the SUN workstation for the Stanford University Network communications project as a personal CAD workstation.
Timeline of computing presents events in the history of computing organized by year and grouped into six topic areas: predictions and concepts, first use and inventions, hardware systems and processors, operating systems, programming languages, and new application areas.
From 1980 to 1987, Apollo was the largest manufacturer of network workstations. [citation needed] Its quarterly sales exceeded $100 million for the first time in late 1986, [5] and by the end of that year, it had the largest worldwide share of the engineering workstations market, at twice the market share of the number two, Sun Microsystems.

The history of computing hardware spans the developments from early devices used for simple calculations to today's complex computers, encompassing advancements in both analog and digital technology. The first aids to computation were purely mechanical devices which required the operator to set up the initial values of an elementary arithmetic ...
Nvidia stock slid 4% Wednesday after Bloomberg reported that Trump administration officials are "exploring additional curbs" on Nvidia's chip sales to China.Bloomberg's report added that the talks ...
Lisp machines originally developed at MIT and later commercialized by Symbolics and other manufacturers, were early high-end single user computer workstations with advanced graphical user interfaces, windowing, and mouse as an input device. First workstations from Symbolics came to market in 1981, with more advanced designs in the subsequent years.
