Computers types I, Computer: Definition A computer is a machine that can be programmed to manipulate symbols. Its principal characteristics are: § It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well-defined manner. § It can execute a prerecorded list of instructions (a program). § It can quickly store and retrieve large amounts of data. Therefore computers can perform complex and repetitive procedures quickly, precisely and reliably. Modern computers are electronic and digital. The actual

were created by IBM 60 years ago as a way to share large and expensive mainframe systems. And although the concept is still applied in current IBM systems, the popular concept of a VM has broadened and been applied to a number of areas outside of virtualization. Virtual machine origins The first operating system to support full virtualization for VMs was the Conversational Monitor System (CMS). CMS supported both full virtualization and paravirtualization. In the early 1970s, IBM introduced the

How will the MBA program fit with my career plans? My career at IBM has taken a seemingly planned path to bring me where I am today with the corporation. In reality, my career has been a mix of exact choices, hard work, and a bit of surprise. I began my career at IBM in May of 2004 after receiving my Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University. I was hired into a technical role as a circuit design engineer working on microprocessor design for IBM’s

its share of the software market. By 2007 Oracle ranked third on the list of largest software companies in the world, after Chapter 5 Case 1 Maruti Suzuki Business Intelligence and Enterprise Databases 2 continued Microsoft and IBM. Subsequently it became larger than IBM after its acquisition of Hyperion and BEA. The corporation has arguably become best-known due to association with its flagship Oracle database. The company also builds tools for database development, middle-tier software, enterprise

SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 1 9 9 4 ness o by Peter F. Drucker ot in a very long time-not, perhaps, since the late 1940s or early 1950s-have there been as many new major management techniques as there are today: downsizing, outsourcing, total quality management, economic value analysis, benchmarking, reengineering. Each is a powerful tool. But, with the exceptions of outsourcing and reengineering, these tools are designed primarily to do differently what is already being done. They are "how to do" tools.

traced, in part, to IBM terminal equipment introduced in 1974. At that time, IBM introduced a series of terminal devices designed for use in transaction-processing applications for banking and retailing. What was unique about those terminals was their method of connection: a common cable that formed a loop provided a communications path within a localized geographical area. Unfortunately, limitations in the data transfer rate, incompatibility between individual IBM loop systems, and

1970’s CLU is a programming language created at MIT by Barbara Liskov and her students between 1974 and 1975. It was notable for its use of constructors for abstract data types that included the code that operated on them, a key step in the direction of object-oriented programming (OOP). Euclid is an imperative programming language for writing verifiable programs. It was designed by Butler Lampson and associates at the Xerox PARC lab in the mid-1970s. The implementation was led by Ric Holt at
