Turing machine
Hi, in this post I will talk about Turing machines, beacuse that is what we have been learning lately in class. How they work, what they are and their main concepts are some of the topics I will explain with a mindmap done with mindomo. In this mindomo I will also explain about the architecture of V. Neumann. In class we have been seeing videos that explain Turing machines and CPU and that is where I took the information that will appear in this post. I will also insert text and images to fully answer the main question of this exercise.
This is my Mindmap.
This is how Turing machines work.
This is a CPU.
This is the V. Neumann architecture.
This is a prototype of a turing machine.
😻Similarites😸
After seeing all this you guys should definitely be able to tell that the V. Neumann architecture is pretty much a real life turing machine. That said, there are some analogies between them, for example program book (turing machine) and a computer program (V. Neumann); strip of tape and memory; read/write head (turing machine) and controlling cables (V. Neumann); the little box reading the tape and the CPU and so on. On the left you've got a cheat-sheet with the most important similarities.
💀 Conclusion💀
Finally we could say that there are a lot of similarities between the two. This is because turing machines are building blocks for modern compuers, even quantum computers! Some say everything a computer can do a turing machine can do, but that changes with quantum computers, right? I don't know, but I think quantum computers can't do more things than a turing machine can, but more efficiently.
