ACM also sponsors other computer science related events such as the worldwide ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest ( ICPC ), and has sponsored some other events such as the chess match between Garry Kasparov and the IBM Deep Blue computer.

* 1997 – Deep Blue, a chess-playing supercomputer, defeats Garry Kasparov in the last game of the rematch, becoming the first computer to beat a world-champion chess player in a classic match format.

* May 11 – IBM's Deep Blue defeats Garry Kasparov in the last game of the rematch, the first time a computer beats a chess World champion in a match.

** Chess computer " Deep Blue " defeats world chess champion Garry Kasparov for the first time.

Deep Blue was a chess-playing computer developed by IBM.

Deep Blue prototype played the computer program Wchess to a draw while Wchess was running on a personal computer.

In round 5 Deep Blue prototype had the white pieces and lost to the computer program Fritz 3 in 39 moves while Fritz was running on an Intel Pentium 90Mhz personal computer.

In the end of the championship Deep Blue prototype was tied for second place with the computer program Junior while Junior was running on a personal computer.

* Deep Throat or Win32. DeepThroat, a computer virus

* Deep Thought ( The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ), a fictional computer in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

* Deep Thought ( chess computer ), an IBM-produced chess computer, named after the Hitchhiker's Guide's Deep Thought

In 1989, Levy was defeated by the computer Deep Thought in an exhibition match.

It was not until a 1996 match with IBM's Deep Blue that Kasparov lost his first game to a computer at tournament time controls in Deep Blue-Kasparov, 1996, Game 1.

The highest rating obtained by a computer in human competition was Deep Thought's USCF rating of 2551 in 1988 and FIDE no longer accepts human-computer results in their rating lists.

In 1997 Deep Blue defeated World Champion Garry Kasparov, marking the first time a computer has defeated a reigning world chess champion in standard time control.

* ( This book actually covers computer chess from the early days through the first match between Deep Blue and Garry Kasparov.

LLNL is home to many unique facilities and a number of the most powerful computer systems in the world, according to the TOP500 list, including Blue Gene / L, the world's fastest computer from 2004 until Los Alamos National Laboratory's IBM Roadrunner supercomputer surpassed it in 2008.

The November 2007 release of the 30th TOP500 list of the 500 most powerful computer systems in the world, has LLNL ’ s Blue Gene / L computer in first place for the seventh consecutive time.

Currently, the Blue Gene / L computer can sustain 478. 2 trillion operations per second, with a peak of 596. 4 trillion operations per second.

In the movie Blue Thunder, Roy Schieder's partner's character, Officer Richard Lymangood, played by Daniel Stern, accesses the helicopter computer, searches his name and a birthplace of Elyria, Ohio, briefly shows up on the screen.

Blue Gene / L used low frequency and low power embedded PowerPC cores with floating point accelerators. While the performance of each chip was relatively low, the system could achieve better computer to energy ratio, for applications that could use larger numbers of nodes.

To run a program on Blue Gene / L, a partition of the computer was first be reserved.

* The Blue Gene / P computer has been used to simulate approximately one percent of a human cerebral cortex, containing 1. 6 billion neurons with approximately 9 trillion connections.

There was only one possible answer, but Jack's horrified mind refused to believe it until he had fed the radar plots of the skiff's course into the computer.

It is worth mentioning that the Nepōhualtzintzin amounted to the rank from 10 to the 18 in floating point, which calculated stellar as well as infinitesimal amounts with absolute precision, meant that no round off was allowed, when translated into modern computer arithmetic.

Alan Mathison Turing, OBE, FRS ( ; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954 ), was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist.

He was highly influential in the development of computer science, giving a formalisation of the concepts of " algorithm " and " computation " with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.

The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician Charles Babbage.

It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's Difference Engine, a design for a mechanical computer.

The Apple I's built-in computer terminal circuitry was distinctive.

As Wozniak was the only person who could answer most customer support questions about the computer, the company offered Apple I owners discounts and trade-ins for Apple IIs to persuade them to return their computers, contributing to their scarcity.

The high price was likely due to the rare documents and packaging offered in the sale in addition to the computer, including the original packaging ( with the return label showing Steve Jobs ' parents ' address, the original Apple Computer Inc ' headquarters ' being their garage ), a personally typed and signed letter from Jobs ( answering technical questions about the computer ), and the original invoice showing ' Steven ' as the salesman.

The computer was brought to Polytechnic University of Turin where it was fixed and used to run the BASIC programming language .</ li >

The computer was designated an IEEE Milestone in 1990.

Atanasoff and Clifford Berry's computer work was not widely known until it was rediscovered in the 1960s, amidst conflicting claims about the first instance of an electronic computer.

At that time, the ENIAC was considered to be the first computer in the modern sense, but in 1973 a U. S. District Court invalidated the ENIAC patent and concluded that the ENIAC inventors had derived the subject matter of the electronic digital computer from Atanasoff ( see Patent dispute ).

It was not a Turing complete computer, which distinguishes it from more general machines, like contemporary Konrad Zuse's Z3 ( 1941 ), or later machines like the 1946 ENIAC, 1949 EDVAC, the University of Manchester designs, or Alan Turing's post-War designs at NPL and elsewhere.

The machine was, however, the first to implement three critical ideas that are still part of every modern computer:

George W. Snedecor, the head of Iowa State's Statistics Department, was very likely the first user of an electronic digital computer to solve real world mathematics problems.

ALGOL ( short for ALGOrithmic Language ) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the ACM, in textbooks, and academic works for the next 30 years and more.

The first model was launched in 1985 as a high-end home computer and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking abilities.
