C.P.U., central processing unit, central processor, CPU, mainframe, processor - (computer science) the part of a computer (a microprocessor chip) that does most of the data processing; "the CPU and the memory form the central part of a computer to which the peripherals are attached" micr...
The utility model relates to a multi-purpose industrial computer case, which is a combined type computer case applicable to different main boards and bottom boards. The utility model mainly designs a back board of a transverse type industrial computer case into the combined type industrial computer...
I recently obtained an aerospace computer from the early 1970s, apparently part of a navigation system. Aerospace computers are an interesting but mostly neglected area of computer hardware, so I'm always delighted to examine one up close. In an era when most computers were large mainframes, a...
Though the moves from mainframe to client-server and from client-server to three-tier architecture were horizontal splits—where different technical portions of the application would be handled at different layers—the next shift was a vertical split. In recent years, the notion of microservices has...

*Yes, I know, technically you can run anything on any universal computer, in the case of an emulator by emulating, say, a mainframe running an airline booking system, but you won't like the performance.
Even though it was originally designed as an interactivemainframetimesharing language, the use of BASIC exploded for personal computers and microcomputers very quickly after its release by Kemeny and Kurtz. It became popular with hardware developers because it worked with a one-instruction-per-line fo...
If you wanted to write C on an IBM mini / mainframe, you had to use the wretched trigraphs for every block boundary. Fortunately, I only had to write software in C to emulate some IBM minicomputer facilities, not actually write C software on the System/36. Look next to the "P" key...
IBM eliminated all of its other computer lines and cornered the mainframe market with 70% of the market. Two decades later, over half of IBM’s revenue still came from System/360-related products. In addition to IBM’s windfall, tens of thousands of non-IBM programmers found employment throu...
