计算机科学的 25 项最大发明
正文翻译
Charles Babbage (also known as Father of Computer) started working on Difference Engine, which is based on the principle of finite differences. It uses only arithmetic addition and removes the need for multiplication and division which are more difficult to implement mechanically. It was strictly designed to calculate and tabulate polynomial function.
查尔斯·巴贝奇(也被称为计算机之父)开始研究基于有限差分原理的差分机。它只使用算术加法，不需要更难机械实现的乘法和除法。它被严格设计为计算和制表多项式函数。

Edmund Berkeley’s Simon was a relay-based computer, designed for the educational purpose of demonstrating the concept of digital computer. Users entered data via punched paper, or by 5 keys on the front panel, and the program ran from a standard paper tape. The ALU and registers stored only 2 bits and that’s the reason it could not be used for any significant practical computation.
埃德蒙·伯克利的西蒙是一台基于继电器的计算机，设计用于演示数字计算机概念的教育目的。用户通过穿孔纸或前面板上的5个键输入数据，程序从标准纸带运行。算术逻辑单元和寄存器只存储2位，这就是它不能用于任何重要的实际计算的原因。
The AN/FSQ-7, developed by IBM, was by far the largest computer ever built. It consisted of 2 Whirlwind II computer installed in a 4-story building.
由IBM开发的AN/FSQ-7是迄今为止建造的最大的计算机。它由两台旋风II计算机组成，安装在一栋4层楼高的建筑中。
A compiler is a special program that converts high-level language into machine code. Grace Hopper wrote the arithmetic language version 0 (or A-0 system) for UNIVAC I, which aims to convert a sequence of subroutines and arguments into machine code.
编译器是一种将高级语言转换成机器代码的特殊程序。格蕾丝·赫柏为UNIVAC I编写了算术语言版本0(或A-0系统),旨在将一系列子程序和参数转换成机器代码。
The A-0 system later evolved into A-2, released as ARITH-MATIC. It was developed at the UNIVAC division of Remington Rand and released to customers by the end of 1953. Users were provided the source code for A-2 and invited to send their enhancements back to UNIVAC.
A-0系统后来演变成A-2，发布为算术形式。它由雷明顿兰德公司的电子计算机部门开发，并于1953年底发布给客户。用户获得了A-2的源代码，并被邀请将其增强功能发送回UNIVAC。
In the 1960s, the term ‘autocode’ was used more generically as to refer to any high-level programming language using a compiler. Alick Glennie developed the first autocode for the Mark 1 computer at the University of Manchester. It is considered to be the first compiled programming language.
在20世纪60年代，术语“自动代码”被更一般地用来指代任何使用编译器的高级编程语言。阿利克·格伦尼在曼彻斯特大学为Mark 1计算机开发了第一个自动代码。它被认为是第一种编译的编程语言。
FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator) was created by a team led by John Backus at IBM. It came to dominate the area of programming early on and had been in use for over half a century in scientific and engineering area such as computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, computational chemistry, and computational physics.
Fortran(公式翻译器)是由IBM的约翰·巴科斯领导的一个团队创建的。它很早就在编程领域占据了主导地位，并在计算流体力学、有限元分析、计算化学和计算物理等科学和工程领域中使用了半个多世纪。
The computer mouse as we know today is was invented by Douglas Engelbart with the assistance of Bill English, and was patented on 17th November 1970. It was just a tiny piece of a much larger project, aimed at augmenting human intellect.
我们今天所知的计算机鼠标是道格拉斯·恩格尔巴特在比尔·英格利希的帮助下发明的，并于1970年11月17日获得专利。这只是一个旨在增强人类智力的更大项目中的一小部分。
E.A Johnson described his work on the capacitive touchscreen (with no pressure sensitivity) in an article – “Touch display – a novel input/output device for computers”. In that article, there was a diagram that described a touchscreen concept that is still in use today.
E.A.约翰逊在一篇名为《触摸屏--一种用于计算机的新型输入/输出设备》的文章中描述了他在电容式触摸屏(没有压力敏感性)方面的工作。在那篇文章中，有一张图表描述了至今仍在使用的触摸屏概念。
Simula is developed by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center. It retains the spirit of ALGOL 60 programming language. Simula is the name of two simulation languages – Simula I and Simula 67.
Simula是由挪威计算中心的Ole-Johan Dahl和Kristen Nygaard开发的。它保留了ALGOL 60编程语言的精神。Simula是两种模拟语言-Simula I和Simula 67的名称。
The chip design was started in April 1970, and it was completed under the leadership of Federico Faggin in January 1971. Smaller than a human thumbnail, the 4-bit register with a clock speed of 740 kHz, had 2300 transistors with 10-micron spacing, capable of performing 60,000 operations per seconds, and costs $200, while having as much computing power as the ENIAC computer. Busicom calculator 141-PF was the first commercial product to use a microprocessor.
1970年4月开始芯片设计，1971年1月在费德里科·费金的领导下完成。这种4位寄存器比人类的拇指指甲盖还小，时钟速度为740千赫，拥有2300个10微米间距的晶体管，每秒可以执行6万次操作，成本为200美元，但其计算能力与ENIAC计算机相当。Busicom计算器141-PF是第一个使用微处理器的商业产品。
The word “computer” was first used in 1613 to describe a human who performed calculations or computations. The definition remained the same until the end of the 19th century when the tech industry gave rise to machines whose primary task was calculating.
“计算机”一词在1613年首次被用来描述进行计算的人。这个定义一直保持不变，直到19世纪末，科技产业催生了以计算为主要任务的机器。

巨像是由汤米·弗劳尔斯创造的世界上第一台电子可编程计算机。第二次世界大战期间，英国人用它来阅读德国的秘密信息(用洛伦兹密码加密)。
The Colossus was not supposed to decrypt all of a message. It just found close settings for the Lorenz machines. The idea was that the frequencies of letters and numerals in German message would give a start to translating the message itself.
巨像不应该解密所有的信息。它刚刚为洛伦兹机器找到了相近的设置。这个想法是，德语信息中字母和数字的频率将为翻译信息本身提供一个开端。

He realized that a more efficient input device was needed, so he invented what they called a rollerball for this purpose. This new device had a ball to control the X-Y coordinates of a cursor on the screen. It was patented in 1947 and was kept as a military secret.
他意识到需要一种更高效的输入设备，因此他为此发明了一种被称为滚球的东西。这个新设备有一个球来控制屏幕上光标的X-Y坐标。它于1947年获得专利，并被列为军事机密。

The trackball used 4 disks to pick up motion, 2 each for the X and Y coordinates. A digital computer calculated the tracks and transferred the resulting data to other ships in a task force using pulse-code modulation radio signals. The design was not patented, as it was a secret military project as well.

The German computer scientist Konrad Zuse, the creator of the first relay computer, started working on the high-level programming language in 1941. He developed ideas as to how his machines (Z4 computer) could be programmed in a powerful way.
德国计算机科学家康拉德·祖思，第一台中继计算机的发明者，于1941年开始研究高级编程语言。他想出了他的机器(Z4计算机)如何以一种强大的方式被编程。
The Plankalkül is a typed high-level imperative programming language with a wide range of features like non-recursive functions, local variables, assignment operation, conditional statement, WHILE construct for iteration, logical operation, fundamental data types and more. Plankalkül was eventually comprehensively published in a 1972 paper, while the first compiler for it was built as late as in 1998.
普兰卡尔库尔是一种类型化的高级命令式编程语言，具有广泛的功能，如非递归函数、局部变量、赋值操作、条件语句、迭代构造、逻辑操作、基本数据类型等。普兰卡尔库尔最终在1972年的一篇论文中全面发表，而它的第一个编译器最晚是在1998年建立的。

13.第一台存储程序的电子数字计算机:SSEM -1948年
SSEM (Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine), nicknamed Baby, executed its first program on 21st June 1948. The program was written by Tom Kilburn, who actually built this computer, and designed by his mentor Frederic Williams. It was the first working machine to contain all the modules essential to a modern computer.
SSEM（曼彻斯特小型实验机），绰号 Baby，于 1948 年 6 月 21 日执行了它的第一个程序。该程序由汤姆·基尔伯恩编写，他实际建造了这台计算机，并由他的导师弗雷德里克·威廉姆斯设计。 它是第一台包含现代计算机所必需的所有模块的工作机器。
SSEM contained a 32-bit word length, single address format order code, a memory of 32 words, and computing speed of around 1.2 milliseconds per instruction. The bit was stored in the form of a charge on the CRT phosphor that could be controlled by an electron beam to write 1 or 0. All arithmetic operations were implemented in the software except subtraction and negation.
曼彻斯特小型实验机包含32位字节，单一地址格式的顺序代码，32个字的内存，每条指令的计算速度约为1.2毫秒。比特以电荷的形式存储在阴极射线管荧光粉上，电子束可以控制它写入1或0。除减法和反运算外，其余的算术运算均在软件中实现

Initial orders (written by David Wheeler) had 31 instructions, which were hard-wired on unisextors, a mechanical read-only memory. The second version of initial orders occupied the full 41 words of read-only memory and included facilities for relocation (or coordination) to facilitate the use of subroutines.
最初的指令(由大卫·惠勒编写)有31条指令，这些指令被硬连接在unisextors(一种机械只读存储器)上。初始指令的第二个版本占用了整整41个字的只读内存，并包含了重新定位(或协调)的设施，以方便子例程的使用。

11.第一台个人电脑:西蒙——1950年
Edmund Berkeley’s Simon was a relay-based computer, designed for the educational purpose of demonstrating the concept of digital computer. Users entered data via punched paper, or by 5 keys on the front panel, and the program ran from a standard paper tape. The ALU and registers stored only 2 bits and that’s the reason it could not be used for any significant practical computation.
埃德蒙·伯克利的西蒙是一台基于继电器的计算机，设计用于演示数字计算机概念的教育目的。用户通过穿孔纸或前面板上的5个键输入数据，程序从标准纸带运行。算术逻辑单元和寄存器只存储2位，这就是它不能用于任何重要的实际计算的原因。
Along with the data entry, punched tape served for memory storage. All instructions were executed in sequence, as the machine read them from the tape. It could perform 4 operations: addition, greater than, negation, and sextion. The output was provided by five lamps.
除了数据输入外，穿孔磁带还用作内存存储。当机器从磁带上读取指令时，所有指令都是按顺序执行的。它可以执行4个操作：加法、大于、求反和选择。输出由五个灯提供。

A compiler is a special program that converts high-level language into machine code. Grace Hopper wrote the arithmetic language version 0 (or A-0 system) for UNIVAC I, which aims to convert a sequence of subroutines and arguments into machine code.
编译器是一种将高级语言转换成机器代码的特殊程序。格蕾丝·赫柏为UNIVAC I编写了算术语言版本0(或A-0系统),旨在将一系列子程序和参数转换成机器代码。
The subroutines were identified via a numeric code and the arguments were integrated directly after each subroutine code. The A-0 turned these specifications into machine language that could be fed into the computer a second time to execute the said program.
子程序通过数字代码识别，参数直接集成在每个子程序代码之后。 A-0 将这些规范转化为机器语言，可以再次输入计算机以执行上述程序。

7. 第一次自动编码:格伦尼自动编码- 1952年
In the 1960s, the term ‘autocode’ was used more generically as to refer to any high-level programming language using a compiler. Alick Glennie developed the first autocode for the Mark 1 computer at the University of Manchester. It is considered to be the first compiled programming language.
在20世纪60年代，术语“自动代码”被更一般地用来指代任何使用编译器的高级编程语言。阿利克·格伦尼在曼彻斯特大学为Mark 1计算机开发了第一个自动代码。它被认为是第一种编译的编程语言。
Glennie’s primary goal was to make the abstruse code of Mark 1 machine comprehensible. Although the resulting language was much organized and clearer than the machine code, it was still very much machine-dependent.
格伦尼的主要目标是让马克1号机器难懂的代码变得容易理解。尽管最终的语言比机器代码更有条理、更清晰，但它仍然在很大程度上依赖于机器。

The second autocode for the Mark 1 was developed by R.A Brooker in 1955. Unlike the first one, it was almost machine-independent and had floating-point arithmetic. However, it allowed only one operation per line, and it had no way to define user subroutines.
马克1的第二个自动代码是由r.a. Brooker在1955年开发的。与第一个版本不同的是，它几乎与机器无关，并且具有浮点运算。但是，它只允许每行有一个操作，并且没有办法定义用户子例程。

FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator) was created by a team led by John Backus at IBM. It came to dominate the area of programming early on and had been in use for over half a century in scientific and engineering area such as computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, computational chemistry, and computational physics.
Fortran(公式翻译器)是由IBM的约翰·巴科斯领导的一个团队创建的。它很早就在编程领域占据了主导地位，并在计算流体力学、有限元分析、计算化学和计算物理等科学和工程领域中使用了半个多世纪。

The computer mouse as we know today is was invented by Douglas Engelbart with the assistance of Bill English, and was patented on 17th November 1970. It was just a tiny piece of a much larger project, aimed at augmenting human intellect.
我们今天所知的计算机鼠标是道格拉斯·恩格尔巴特在比尔·英格利希的帮助下发明的，并于1970年11月17日获得专利。这只是一个旨在增强人类智力的更大项目中的一小部分。
Engelbart required the ability to interact with information display using some sort of machine to move a cursor on the screen. There were already different devices then in use, including lightpen and joysticks. He was, however, looking for the most efficient device.
恩格尔巴特需要使用某种机器在屏幕上移动光标来与信息显示交互的能力。当时已经有不同的设备在使用，包括光笔和操纵杆。然而，他正在寻找最有效的设备。

It is quite strange that the inventor of one of the most popular computer interface devices didn’t receive any royalties for his mouse invention. He got the patent as an assignor of SRI, and SRI licensed it to Apple for around $40,000, which was ridiculous. Douglas received nothing!
非常奇怪的是，最流行的计算机接口设备之一的发明者没有收到任何鼠标发明的版税。他作为国际斯坦福研究所的转让人,获得了该专利，国际斯坦福研究所,以大约40000美元的价格将其许可给了苹果，这太荒谬了。道格拉斯什么也没收到！

The chip design was started in April 1970, and it was completed under the leadership of Federico Faggin in January 1971. Smaller than a human thumbnail, the 4-bit register with a clock speed of 740 kHz, had 2300 transistors with 10-micron spacing, capable of performing 60,000 operations per seconds, and costs $200, while having as much computing power as the ENIAC computer. Busicom calculator 141-PF was the first commercial product to use a microprocessor.
