 History of computing hardware (1960s-present) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The history of computing hardware (continued from history of computing hardware) picks up with the development of the integrated circuit.
A study of computer history is not complete without a discussion of the early home computers, in particular the MITS Altair.
At the other end of the computing spectrum from the microcomputers, supercomputers of the era also harnessed integrated circuit technology and were immensely powerful.

 Server (Linux Reviews)
Software ultimately requires computer hardware to run, and originally server software would be run on a large powerful computer such as a mainframe computer or minicomputer.
These have largely been replaced by computers built using a more robust version of the microprocessor technology than is used in personal computers, and the term "server" was adopted to describe microprocessor-based machines designed for this purpose.
One might expect that the "server" in X would refer to the computer on which individual programs are running and the client to be the computer the human user is physically in front of.

 history_of_operating_systems.html
The development of microprocessors made inexpensive computing available for the small business and hobbyist, which in turn led to the widespread use of interchangeable hardware components using a common interconnection (such as the S-100, SS-50, Apple II, ISA, and PCI buses), and an increasing need for 'standard' operating systems to control them.
As hardware was packaged in ever so larger amounts in small packages, first the bit slice level of integration in systems, and then entire systems came to be present on a single chip.
The history of computer operating systems recapitulates to a degree, the recent history of computing.

 Computing at Columbia Timeline
Even though IBM 7000 series computers were to be the mainstay of Columbia computing for the next several years, the handwriting was on the wall; their capacity would soon be overwhelmed by increasing demand.
In fact, machine computing had been going on here for decades prior, but the 650 was the first computer in the modern sense of the word at Columbia open to the academic departments for research and instruction.
The Astronomical Computing Bureau in Pupin, now directed by Jan Schilt (but with Eckert still running the show from Washington), was assigned to tasks for the looming war, such as ballistic firing tables, and trajectory calculations, and later, design calculations for the B-29 sighting station [57,59] — "Mathematics Goes to War" [9].

In addition to an overview of Stretch-HARVEST, the talk will describe some of the lesser known aspects of the project the people and institutions involved, the political climate, and the shared knowledge, views, and value systems which were part of this interesting project at an interesting time in the history of computing.
The combined Stretch-HARVEST Project created a milieu for developing new technologies, new hardware architectures, and new software to meet the challenges of both systems.
In response to government requests, IBM Research designed a system for a very large data processing application, known as the HARVEST system, including Stretch, which was delivered to the National Security Agency in the early 1960s.
