Apollo Craft missions
4 Computer
1st computer was Saturn Lauch Vehicle Digital Computer or LVDC
Rocket from lunch pad to earth orbit
2nd is Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC)
Most people Think of
Was not as dumb
Apollo's development
Task was meant to do in Both number and sophistication
Created more issue with the limited resources available
Has unique operating system
UNiX,Linex,Windows,Apple IOS
Performance
1st generation computer like Apple II, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum that would arrived 10 years latter
Comparison
2k RAM And 36k fixed Storage
Software bugs were Literally woven
AGC and iPhone 6
AGC had unique operating System
Built for Specific task 48 years gap in technology used
iPhone 6 uses ARM A8 processor about 1.6 billion transistors
AGC had just 12,300 transistors
iPhone 6 has 1Gb Ram,128Gb of non volatile storage and 4 and 30 million faster that the AGC, if you include iPhone's GPU it would be even more.
Biggest Problem
Limited Memory due to technological limitation
Programmers had to use every single bite available
Two of them
One was Command Module
Earth orbit to moon and back again
Second was Lunar Module
Control the landing
Case of emergency
Highest priority program gets most of time
4th was never used
Because it control emergency abort and ascent
Not one solitary computer
No fancy touch Screen
