as a current computer.

1. [Gpts) In 1959, an IBM 7090 could execute about 500,000 instructions/sec, had a memory of 32,768 36-bit words, and cost $3 million. Compare this to a current computer (you can pick your laptop or some other computer you use) and determine how much better the current one is by multiplying the ratio of memory sizes and speeds and then dividing this by the ratio of the prices. Be sure to identify the current computer you use for your calculation. State your assumptions about speed, memory size, and price. To answer this part of the problem, complete Table 1. Table 1: Comparing old IBM computer to Current computer capabilities Criteriat OLD IBM 7090 Current Computer RATIO= new/old SPEED 500,000 Instr/Sec Capacity/Size 32,768 36-bit words Cost $3,000,000 LEGEND: SPEED refers to how fast the system is in MIPS or Millions of Instructions per Second. This would be a number advertised by the computer chip vendor. Capacity/size refers to the size of memory (not on board chip cache). Memory size would be a very big number, while cache is a significantly smaller number. Now see what the same gains would have done to aviation in the same time period. The Boeing 707 was delivered to the airlines in substantial quantities in 1959. Its speed was 950 km/hr and its capacity was initially 180 passengers. It cost S4 million. What would the speed, capacity, and cost of an airline now be if it had the same gains as a computer? To answer this part of the problem, complete Table 2. Table 2: Comparing the growth of flying abilities to computing capabilities Use this formula: Old X RATIO (from Table 1) - TODAY'S NOW Criteria (Old) BOEING 707 TODAY'S NOW SPEED 950 km/hr Capacity/Size 180 passengers Cost $4,000,000
