Trends in computer development

The computer has been developed from single function and large size to complex function, small size and network of resources.
The future of the computer is full of variables, the performance of a large increase is not to be doubted, and the realization of the performance of the leap there are many ways.
Performance is not the only way to improve the development of computers, the development of computers should also become more humane, but also to pay attention to environmental protection and so on.
Since the advent of computer, the programming language has experienced the machine language, assemble language, high-level language;
Operating system has undergone a simple operating system and Linux, Macos, BSD, windows and other modern operating system four generations,
The speed of operation has also been greatly improved, the fourth generation of computing speed has reached billions of times per second.
Computer also from the original only for military research and development to the use of all, computer powerful application function, produced a huge market needs,
The future of computer performance should be in the direction of miniaturization, networking, intelligence and mega-development.
Mega:
is to develop high-speed, large-capacity and powerful supercomputers to meet the needs of cutting-edge science and technology.
People's dependence on computers is becoming more and more strong, especially in military and scientific research education, the requirements of computer storage space and running speed will be higher.
In addition, the function of the computer is more diversified.
Miniaturization of:
With the advent of micro-processors (CPUs), microprocessors are being used in computers, reducing the size and cost of computers.
On the other hand, the rapid development of the software industry improves the convenience of the internal operating system, and the computer peripherals are also becoming perfect.
The continuous improvement of computer theory and technology has led to the rapid infiltration of microcomputers into all sectors of society, and has become a necessary product for people to live and learn.
For more than 40 years, the size of computers has been shrinking, with desktops, laptops, PDAs, and tablet computers becoming miniaturized,
To provide people with convenient service. As a result, the future of computers will continue to be miniaturized, the volume will be smaller.
Network:
The Internet connects computers all over the world and has since entered the internet era.
Computer network has completely changed the human world, people through the Internet Communication, communication (OICQ, Weibo, etc.),
Education Resources Sharing (literature review, distance education, etc.), information access and sharing (Baidu, Google), etc.,
In particular, the advent of wireless networks, greatly improving the convenience of people to use the network, the future of the computer will be further to the development of networking.
Artificial intelligence
Computer Artificial intelligence is the inevitable trend of future development. Modern computers have powerful functions and operating speeds, but compared to the human brain,
Its intelligence and logic capabilities still need to be improved. Humans are constantly exploring how to make computers better able to respond to human thinking,
So that the computer can have the human logical thinking judgment ability, can think and communicate with human,
Abandon the past rely on the code program to run the computer's method, directly to the computer issued instructions.
Multimedia technology
The information processed by traditional computers is mainly characters and numbers. In fact, people are more accustomed to the picture, text, sound, such as many forms of multimedia information.
Multimedia technology can set graphics, images, audio, video, text as a whole, so that the object of information processing and content closer to the real world.
Technology integration
Computer micro-processor with transistors as the basic components, with the continuous improvement of the processor, the computer structure and components will also change greatly.

With the development of photoelectric technology, quantum technology and biotechnology, the development of new computer has great impetus.
Since the 1980s the ALU and control units have been gradually integrated into an integrated circuit called a microprocessor.
Its working mode is very intuitive: in a clock cycle, the computer first obtains the instruction and the data from the memory, then executes the instruction, stores the data,
Get the next instruction again. This process is executed repeatedly until a termination instruction is obtained. Explained by the Controller,
The instruction set executed by the operator is a well-defined set of simple instructions with a very limited number.
China development
China has now become a big producer of electronic information products, and gradually established in the Global Industrial Division of labor system, the important position,
China's computer industry will present six major trends in the future:
Large-capacity disk, environment-friendly display to the popularization;
laptop display to polarization;
Memory technology replacement, floppy drive out of the market;
Wireless applications become mainstream;
IA server market share will be further improved;
Server low-end market differentiation intensified.
