The fifth generation computer

Defining the fifth generation computer becomes quite difficult because the stage is still very young. Imaginative example of fifth generation computer is the fictional HAL9000 computer from the novel by Arthur C. Clarke entitled 2001: Space Odyssey.

HAL displays all the desired functionality of a fifth-generation computers. With artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence), HAL may have enough reason to do percapakan with humans, using visual feedback, and learn from his own experience.

Although it may be the realization of the HAL9000 is still far from reality, many of the functions that had been established. Some computers can receive verbal instructions and are able to mimic human reasoning. The ability to translate a foreign language also becomes possible. The facility is deceptively simple. However, such facilities become much more complicated than expected when programmers realized that human understanding relies heavily on context and meaning rather than simply translate words directly.

Many advances in the field of computer design and technology
enables the creation semkain fifth generation computers. Two engineering advances which are mainly parallel processing capabilities, which will replace the model of non Neumann. The model will be replaced by non Neumann system capable of coordinating a lot of CPU to work in unison. Another advance is superconductor technology that allows the flow of electrically without any obstacles, which in turn can accelerate the speed of information.

Japan is a country well known in the jargon of socialization and the fifth generation computer project. Institute ICOT (Institute for New Computer Technology) is also formed to make it happen. Many news stating that the project has failed, but some other information that the success of this fifth generation computer project will bring new changes in the world of computing paradigm.

We wait for information which is more valid and fruitful.

The fifth generation computers are under development. Components used are VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration)

"The computer in this generation will be developed computers that can translate human language, talking to people, can make a more accurate diagnosis of disease and so forth"
