| Konrad Zuse's Early Computers (Springer) |
| Monday, 24 June 2024 | |||
This book describes the historical development of the architectures of the first computers built by the German inventor Konrad Zuse in Berlin between 1936 and 1945. Zuse's machines are historically important because they anticipated many features of modern computers.Raul Rojas examines the machines and features such as the separation of processor and memory, the ability to compute with floating-point numbers, a hardware architecture based on microprogramming of the instruction set, and a layered design with a high-level programming language on top.
