商品描述

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.

Specifically, these include 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. In fact, Zuse's early computers are closer to modern computers than the Harvard Mark I or ENIAC, two other contenders for the title of "world's first computer." The theoretical program first conceived by Zuse in 1936/37 was fulfilled with a series of machines built before and during World War II: the Z1, Z2, Z3, and Z4. Separate chapters deal with the architecture of each computer, culminating in the description of Plankalkül, the first proposal for a high-level programming language.

Students of the sciences and practitioners of computer science should have no trouble following the material. The concise introductory summary sets the reader on the historical path to retrace this remarkable intellectual adventure.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書描述了德國發明家康拉德·祖塞（Konrad Zuse）於1936年至1945年間在柏林建造的第一台電腦架構的歷史發展。祖塞的機器在歷史上具有重要意義，因為它們預示了現代電腦的許多特徵。

具體來說，這些特徵包括處理器與記憶體的分離、能夠進行浮點數計算、基於微程式設計的硬體架構，以及在頂層使用高階程式語言的分層設計。事實上，祖塞的早期電腦比哈佛Mark I或ENIAC更接近現代電腦，這兩者都是「世界第一台電腦」的競爭者。祖塞在1936/37年首次構思的理論程式，隨著在第二次世界大戰前後建造的一系列機器得以實現：Z1、Z2、Z3和Z4。每台電腦的架構都有單獨的章節，最終描述了Plankalkül，這是第一個高階程式語言的提案。

科學學生和計算機科學從業者應該能夠輕鬆理解這些材料。簡明的介紹摘要引導讀者踏上追溯這一非凡智力冒險的歷史之路。
