Computer science is more theoretical (Turing's essay is an example of computer science), whereas software engineering is focused on more practical concerns. However, prior to 1946, software as we now understand it – programs stored in the memory of stored-program digital computers – did not yet exist. The very first electronic computing ...
The Mark 1 had no operating system; its only system software was a few basic routines for input and output. [1] As in the Baby from which it was developed, and in contrast to the established mathematical convention, the machine's storage was arranged with the least significant digits to the left; thus a one was represented in five bits as ...
The Gamma 3 had innovative features for its time including a dual-mode, software switchable, BCD and binary ALU, as well as a hardwired floating-point library for scientific computing. [130] In its E.T configuration, the Gamma 3 drum memory could fit about 50,000 instructions for a capacity of 16,384 words (around 100 kB), a large amount for ...
The Apple Computer 1 (Apple-1 [a]), later known predominantly as the Apple I (written with a Roman numeral), [b] is an 8-bit motherboard-only personal computer designed by Steve Wozniak [5] [6] and released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976.
The rise of the Internet and cloud computing enabled a new model, software as a service (SaaS), [18] in which the provider hosts the software (usually built on top of rented infrastructure or platforms) [19] and provides the use of the software to customers, often in exchange for a subscription fee. [17]
In the software context, the relatively simple OSs for early microcomputers were usually inspired by minicomputer OSs (such as CP/M's similarity to Digital's single user OS/8 and RT-11 and multi-user RSTS time-sharing system). Also, the multiuser OSs of today are often either inspired by, or directly descended from, minicomputer OSs.
Methods for implementing interfaces, e.g., by means of software libraries. Methods for evaluating and comparing interfaces with respect to their usability and other desirable properties. Methods for studying human–computer use and its sociocultural implications more broadly. Methods for determining whether or not the user is human or computer.
Lewat Djam Malam was first screened domestically in May 1954. [1] It was initially meant to be screened at the Asian Film Festival in Tokyo, but the Indonesian government refused to allow the screening, apparently as a protest against the failure of the Japanese government to punish Japanese troops who had committed crimes during their occupation of Indonesia from 1942 to 1945.
