Imaginada como una especie de cabezal lector que va leyendo sucesivas hojas en una cinta infinita, la máquina de Turing establece nada menos que las báses lógicas que permitieron desarrollar los primeros procesadores o ‘cerebros’ artificiales. Bajo estás líneas podeis encontrar el vídeo que explica el funcionamiento de este modelo matemático con LEGO.
Este modelo fue fabricado en honor al centenario del nacimiento de Alan Turing en junio de 2012 |
This is a short documentary about the LEGO Turing Machine built by Jeroen van den Bos and Davy Landman at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam (Netherlands). They built it for CWI's exposition "Turings Erfenis" in honor of Alan Turings one hundredth birthday this year.
Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician who helped define the theoretical model of the computer as we know it today. He was a visionary, one of the few people of his time who recognized the role the computer would play for humanity.
The Turing Machine (1936) is an adequate model of a computer. It can do anything the computers of today or tomorrow can do.
