Question

The processing speed of first generation computers was

Answer 1

The processing speed of first generation computers was Milliseconds

                               

It means that, In first generation of computer the processing speed of computer was 40 to 200 Calculations/second  

                       

In the first generation of Computer, There was not a use of Transistor. In the first generation of computer, There was a use of Magnetic Drum or Vacuum tube. Which was very slow for processing.

                     

The Processing speed of computers in first generation was measured in Milliseconds. And, We might know that Millisecond is very slow than today's processing speed measurements.

                   

Because of not having transistors in computers, The speed of computers was not measured in Hz. And, This is the reason the computers of first generation size was very less. Today, The Processing speed of computer is measured in Nanoseconds.

                       

Extra Information:-

i) There are total 5 Generations of computer

ii) Each generation computer was having advanced technology and High ram

iii) This is the 5th generation of computer

iv) In 5th generation the computers are very Fast. And work on Nano processors

Answer 2

Answer:

The processing speed of first generation computers were in milliseconds.

Explanation:

• A vacuum-tube computer or a first-generation computer, is a computer that uses vacuum tubes for its logic circuitry. The vacuum-tube computers continued to be built into the 1960s which later on was  superseded by second-generation transistorized computers, .

• An example of the first generation computer is the Electronic Computer (ENIAC) which contained nearly 19000 vacuum tubes. It was weighed nearly 30 tons and occupied an area of 3000 cubic feet.
• The speeds of First Generation computers were in milli- seconds, i.e. thousands of a second.

Characteristics of  First generation of computers

• Technology used: Vacuum tube

• Operating speed: Millisecond range

• Programming language used: Machine language

• Memory used Primary memory: Magnetic core memory

• Secondary memory: Magnetic drum or tape.

• I/O device: Punched card as input device, printing device as output device.
