• <strong>History</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Computers</strong><br />
• Before 1900 : mostly mechanical computer<br />
• 1900 -‐1950 : inven5on <strong>of</strong> analog and digital<br />
computers<br />

Cost vs Performance<br />
• In 1984, an IBM-‐PC costs US$2000, that uses an<br />
Intel 8088, runs at 700 thousands instruc5ons per<br />
second.<br />
• In today’s dollar, it is equivalent to US$5000 aper<br />
infla5on.<br />
• With US$5000, we can buy an Apple 27” iMac<br />
that uses Intel i7, runs at 12,000 millions<br />
instruc5ons per second.<br />
• This is 16,000 5mes in speed improvement, as<br />
predicted by Moore’s Law.<br />
