Until 1970 an important part of the activity was to perform mathematical computations for other organizations.

So far we have not shown how quantum circuits are used to perform computations.

By contrast, only about 100 million microprocessors were sold that year to perform computations in computers.

In outline, he defends his claim thus: Computers perform computations.

The device may not actually perform computation of final communication, but it must appear as though it does.

He could store and retrieve data, perform mathematical computations, design graphics, even create new languages.

Before the 1920s, computers (sometimes computors) were human clerks that performed computations.

Researchers have been experimenting for some time with the idea that biology can be harnessed to perform computations.

By the late 1960s, attention turned to the design of special-purpose hardware to perform stochastic computation.

Lower power consumption because no transistor ever transitions unless it is performing useful computation.
