Abstract

Throughout the end of the first half and during the second half of the past century, advances in technology allowed scientists to develop computer systems. In the beginning, mostly between the forties and the sixties, single computers would fill large rooms with electronics that would consume as much power as several hundreds of modern desktop computers.
