COMPUTER FIFTH PERIOD

Defining the fifth generation computer becomes quite difficult because this stage is still very young. Examples are the fifth generation computer imaginative fictional HAL9000 computer from the novel by Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL displays all the desired functions of a fifth-generation computer. With artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence or AI), HAL may have enough reason to hold conversations with humans, using visual input, and learn from his own experience.

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

Many advances in the field of computer design and technology are increasingly enabling the manufacture of fifth generation computers. Two engineering advances which are mainly parallel processing capabilities, which will replace the non-Neumann model. Non Neumann model will be replaced with a system that is able to coordinate many CPUs to work in unison. Another advancement is the superconducting technology that allows the flow of electrically without any obstacles, which will accelerate the speed of information.

Characteristic feature of the fifth generation computer as follows:

1) generation of computers is still under development and not yet widely wearer. Generation of computer development was pioneered by Japan

2) electronic components using the most recent forms of VLSI chips

3) The program is created in the language PROLOG (Programming Logic) and LISP (List Processor)

4) Computer fifth generation focused on AI (Artificial Intelligence / Artificial Intelligence), which is something that is related to the use of computers to carry out tasks that are analogous to human behavior.

5) Its properties:

 Can help develop programs for himself

 Can be translated from one language to another

 Can make logical judgments

 Can hear the phrase spoken commands and execute

 Can choose a stack of facts and use the necessary facts

 Can process the images and graphics in the same way with word processing, for example, can see and understand a photograph.

Japan is a country that is well known in the attributes of the fifth generation computers. ICOT Institute (Institute for New Computer Technology) was also set up 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 computerized paradigm.
