Hardware for information processing systems: Today and in the future

A broad, panoramic view of the history, current state-of-the-art, and predicted developments in the central processor, main memory, and peripheral areas of information processing systems is presented. The historic development is discussed by machine generations, and within each generation, the then current state-of-the-art of the three pertinent areas. Emphasis is placed upon the third or current generation, with future trends and developments receiving the second emphasis. The extrapolation technique employed in generating the data for the 1970 projections is described.
