Supercomputers

In 1946, Maunchly and Presper leave the University of Pennsylvania and receive funding from the Census Bureau to build the UNIVAC, the first commercial computer for business and government applications. Forty-six computers were built for business and government purposes. The UNIVAC had an add time of 120 milliseconds, multiply time of 1,800 microseconds, and a divide time of 3,600 microseconds.

I think Hewlett-Packard has come this far because they don’t lose their essence, they don’t lose their heart through the years. Even now, that there are lots of new companies offering good computers and software for less money.

In 1968 the 6600 lost its title of the fastest computer in the world when the CDC 7600 was made. The way the 6600 worked was by having 10 computers process stuff or known as the peripheral processors, which funnel data to a central cpu. The Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency hired the University of Illinois to build a processing computer and its name would be the ILLIAC IV, which did not operate until 1972 at NASA's Arms Research. This computer was the first large-scale array, and it had the speed of 200 million instructions per

The Colossus Mk 1 or the first analogue computer, a response to the German enigma code, was first shown working in December of 1943 and later the Colossus Mk 2,

in the revenue too. Also, they are the largest technology companies is their world and they are on

People in the United States were starting to invent gadgets to make life easier. In 1945, one of the main inventions was a computer named ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer). This was a huge step for the United States, and it allowed new technology to be made that could not be before. The ENIAC was a giant computer that stood two stories tall and weighed thirty tons. This super computer was a secret military project during World War II that was carried out by Jon Mauchly and John Presper Eckert Junior. ENIAC was invented to speed up the mathematical calculations that were needed to make ballistic firing tables for the Army and to design atomic weaponry. This super computer could add 5,000 numbers in one second. This might not seem like very fast compared to today’s technology, but this was a 1,000 times faster than any machine at this time.

America was not buying into that claim and 90% of computers used are Intel based. (Lai, E. (2007) Vista, Mac Use Both Increase. Retrieved January 9, 2008, from PCWorld Web site http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,140422-page,1/article.html).

Another factor which is interesting to examine is the One Year Change in Market Value. Inditex is on top position compared to all competitors with an impressive growth rate of 47%. H&M has the closest result and is the only company besides Inditex whose market value has been growing in 2001.

By the late 1970s the computing giant IBM had plans for marketing a personal computer for home use. They approached Microsoft to develop the standard operating system for their home computer models. Gates and Allen then went out and purchased for $50,000 an operating system called Q-Dos,

1946: Mauchly and Presper leave the University of Pennsylvania and get financing from the Census Bureau to manufacture the UNIVAC, the first business workstation for business and government applications.eniac - World's first electronic, expansive scale, universally useful machine, constructed by Mauchly and Eckert, and initiated at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946. ENIAC reproduced on an advanced machine chip. See a clarification of ENIAC on a Chip by the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, University of Pennsylvania.

　　The key period of the evolution of modern electronic computer is in between the late 1930s and the early 1950s. Not all of them were invented by the mathematician or physician. Among those machines were pioneering computers put together by english academics notably Manchester/Ferrenti Mark 1, built at Manchester University by Frederic Williams and Thomas Kilburn. And the EDSAC, Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator built by Maurice Wilkes at Cambridge University.

Compaq and Dell stole IBM’s PC market with the right price and the right message.
