Some time ago I found link to programming manual from 1951 year for one of the first british computers - Manchester/Ferranti Mark I/II and author was Alan ...
That is, a machine that reads an arbitrary Turing machine description from a tape and simulates it. You can argue that such a machine forms the basis for the modern stored-program computer.
The Turing Test Measures Something, But It’s Not “Intelligence” A computer program mimicked human conversation so well that it was mistaken for a real live human, but “machine intelligence ...
As Ian Bogost wrote last year on this website, the same concept drives Turing’s other great contribution to computer science—the universal computing machine.
Scientists have created the first “chemical Turing machine,” meaning a liquid that can do the calculations that define a classic computer science standard.
Alan Turing: still casting a long shadow over mathematics One hundred and fifty years of mathematics will be proved wrong if a new computer program stops running. Thankfully, it’s unlikely to ...
This is true for the challenge of proving that cascading stylesheets are Turing-complete, or that you don’t need all those fancy ISA bits of an ARM processors when you already got the LDM and ...
Turing completeness in blockchain allows for universal computation, enabling diverse applications and smart contracts with limitless computational possibilities.
