A Turing Machine - Overview

A Turing machine is a math concept that show that a few simple rules can be used to solve any computable computation. It is the basis for all of today's computers. My goal in building this project was to create a machine that embodied the classic look and feel of the machine presented in Alan Turings 1937 paper on computable numbers.

Lecture 12.3: The Amazing Alan Turing - Richard Buckland (extension lecture) UNSW 2008

We had a gap at the end of Lecture 12 so Richard gives an unplanned and impromptu talk about some of the contributions of the amazing thinker Alan Turing. So much to say, so little time, such fast talking. We chat about 3 different major contributions he made to the world - his decryption work during WWII and the Engima Machine; his abstract model of a computer (the Turing Machine) and what things can be effectively "computed"; and finally, briefly only, his thoughts about what it is to be human and the difference between humans and computers - the Turing Test. Alan Turing is a key figure in the development of computing, indeed if I had to pick just one thinker who was the most amazing he'd get my vote. Richard promises to talk about the Turing Test in more depth in the next extension lecture. Also comes up: Epimenides paradox, non computable functions, the halting problem, U-559, Colin Grazier GC, Anthony Fasson, GC,Tommy Brown, Blade Runner, CAPTCHAs. Errata: My memory was about as reliable as usual - I said Tommy stayed outside in a boat but i've since read that all three swam across and went into the U-559. Humbling bravery. I've also since realised that Colin Grazier was from Tamworth in the UK, not the Tamworth in Australia as I had always thought (why are so many English places named after Australian towns?) Finally, something which actually I did know but still managed to get wrong - the important material salvaged was not a cypher machine but quantities of data ...

Alan Turing, Father of Computer Science - Eduardo Galeano

Complete video at: fora.tv Eduardo Galeano recounts the life and death of Alan Turing, the father of the modern computer. After pleading guilty to the "crime and sickness" of homosexuality, Touring was forced to undergo medical "cures" which prompted his tragic suicide. ----- In this history of human adventure, one of Latin America's most distinguished writers illuminates movements of ideas and society across centuries by recalling the lives of artists, writers, gods and visionaries-- from the Garden of Eden to 21st-century New York. - Los Angeles Public Library Eduardo Galeano is the author of the Memory of Fire Trilogy, Open Veins of Latin America, Soccer in Sun and Shadow, and many other works. Born in Montevideo, in 1940, Galeano lived in exile in Argentina and Spain for many years before returning to Uruguay. His work has inspired popular and classical music composers from all over the world. He was the recipient of the first Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom. He has just been awarded "The Outstanding Citizen of the South," a new prize awarded by the Common Market of the South.

The Death of Alan Turing

Rare documentary excerpt traces the decline and subsequent death of the mathematical genius and one of the founders of the modern computer. Turing was also one of the leading codebreakers at Bletchley Park during World War Two, and played a leading role in the breaking of the German Enigma codes.

The Church-Turing Thesis: Story and Recent Progress

Google Tech Talk June 8, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Yuri Gurevich. The Church-Turing thesis is one of the foundations of computer science. The thesis heralded the dawn of the computer revolution by enabling the construct of the universal Turing machine which led the way, at least conceptually, to the von Neumann architecture and first electronic computers. One way to state the Church-Turing thesis is as follows: A Turing Machine computes every numerical function that is computable by means of a purely mechanical procedure. It is that remarkable and a priori implausible characterization that underlies the ubiquitous applicability of digital computers. But why do we believe the thesis? Careful analysis shows that the existing arguments are insufficient. Kurt Gödel surmised that it might be possible to state axioms which embody the generally accepted properties of computability, and to prove the thesis on that basis. That is exactly what we did in a recent paper with Nachum Dershowitz of Tel Aviv University. Beyond our proof, the story of the Church-Turing thesis is fascinating and scattered in specialized and often obscure publications. I will try to do justice to that intellectual drama. Yuri Gurevich is Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA. He is also Prof. Emeritus at the University of Michigan, ACM Fellow, Guggenheim Fellow, a member of Academia Europaea, and Dr. Honoris Causa of a couple of universities.

Turing's Cathedral

Google Tech Talks April, 9 2008 ABSTRACT New Light on the Dawn of Digital Computing, 1945-1958 The digital universe consists of two kinds of bits: differences in space and differences in time. Digital computers translate between these two forms of information--structure and sequence--according to definite rules. Sixty-three years ago, at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, John von Neumann and a small group of nonconformists launched a project to do this at electronic speed. The resulting architecture and coding has descended directly to almost all computers now in use. Von Neumann succeeded in jump-starting the computer revolution by bringing engineers into the den of the mathematicians, rather than by bringing mathematicians into a den of engineers. The stored-program computer, as conceived by Alan Turing and delivered by John von Neumann, broke the distinction between numbers that *mean* things and numbers that *do* things. Our universe would never be the same. With a mere 5 kilobytes of random access memory, von Neumann and colleagues tackled previously intractable problems ranging from thermonuclear explosions, stellar evolution, and long-range weather forecasting to cellular automata, genetic coding, and the origins of life. Programs were small enough to be completely debugged, but hardware could not be counted on to perform consistently from one kilocycle to the next. This situation is now reversed.

Alan Turing's trouble with convention

My favorite fragment from the documentary Breaking the Code, about the life and work of Alan Turing, the inventor of the digital computer and the one who broke the Nazi 'Enigma' code. The film is mostly about Turing breaking another code - the social conventions of his time. I love Turing's attitude about how one should simply ignore the simple minded idiots that get offended by any departure from "normality", no matter how harmless that departure is. There are more important and interesting things to do than to worry about such idiots. Unfortunately however, in his case intolerance had the last word.

biografia del grande Alan Turing materiale deteriorato ed editato divulgato a scopo didattico

Breaking the Code: Biography of Alan Turing (Derek Jacobi, BBC, 1996)

A biography of the English mathematician Alan Turing, who was one of the inventors of the digital computer and one of the key figures in the breaking of the Enigma code, used by the Germans to send secret orders to their U-boats in World War II. Turing was also a homosexual in Britain at a time when this was illegal, besides being a security risk. Adapted for Television Hugh Whitemore wrote a shortened version of the play for television. This was filmed in late 1995, as a production of THE DRAMA HOUSE and WGBH BOSTON for BBC NORTH.The first transmission, to my knowledge, was on 17 September 1996 in Canada, by Showcase Television. It was shown in the United States as a Masterpiece Theater production on 2 February 1997. The first British transmission was on BBC1, 5 February 1997. Filmed for television in a naturalistic suburban setting, rather than on a timeless, expressionist stage set, Breaking the Code inevitably sacrificed many of the elements that made it grip theatre audiences. No stagecraft magic of Derek Jacobi's real-time changes of age: instead the teenage Turing was played by a young actor. The adapted script also lost some of the more special moments of the play. For instance, on the stage, Turing reveals the logical secret of the Bombe on his last holiday on Corfu, but with the irony that it is revealed to someone who does not understand a word. On the television screen, his explanation is given to an Intelligence officer 'John Smith', all irony lost. Hugh ...

SALERO - Turing Enigma

In connection with Helsinki Skaala Opera's multimedia opera Turing Machine at Korjaamo, Crucible Studio presents Turing Enigma, an on-line chatting experience, which continues the thematics of the Turing Machine opera and provides new points of view to the fascinating life of Alan Turing (1912-1954). Turing, a heroic wartime code-breaker and pioneer of computer science, made a provocative contribution to the debate regarding artificial intelligence: whether it will ever be possible to say that a machine is conscious and can think. As a person he was "an ordinary English homosexual atheist mathematician", which led him, tragically, to commit suicide by eating an apple laced in cyanide. In Turing Enigma, Alan Turing's spirit has infiltrated the German WWII encrypting device Enigma, the "unbreakable" code of which Turing successfully cracked. The user can engage in discussions with Alan Turing's spirit on the web site. The artificial character can recognize words and sentences from text typed-in by users and then reply accordingly with text and by "spitting out" various 3D-animated objects and sounds out of the Enigma machine. Turing Enigma is produced by Crucible Studio, a research group of the Media Lab of the University of Art and Design Helsinki.

The Turing Test

Artificial Intelligence Computer Algorithms compete with each other in a Game Show setting where they attempt to pass the 'Turing Test' and be accepted as human.The work represents a new paradigm in computer generated filmmaking. The realistic 3D human-like digital actors were recorded in real-time directly from the display of a standard PC. The characters' dialogue was created from textwith a text to speech engine or automaticallysychronized to real voice audio clips. The digital actors were 'directed' using a markup language to describe behaviours and expressions, with real-time interactive playback.Software: LifeFXHardware: PC, Graphics Card This item is part of the collection: SIGGRAPH Director: Mark Sagar Producer: Mark Sagar Production Company: LifeFX Inc.

Turing's Cathedral. Author George Dyson in Conversation with John Hollar

[Recorded: March 7, 2012] I am thinking about something much more important than bombs. I am thinking about computers. John von Neumann, 1946 The most powerful technology of the last century was not the atomic bomb, but software—and both were invented by the same folks. Even as they were inventing it, the original geniuses imagined almost everything software has become since. At long last, George Dyson delivers the untold story of software's creation. It is an amazing tale brilliantly deciphered. Kevin Kelly, cofounder of WIRED magazine, author of What Technology Wants Legendary historian George Dyson vividly re-creates the scenes of focused experimentation, incredible mathematical insight, and pure creative genius that gave us computers, digital television, modern genetics, models of stellar evolution—in other words, computer code. In the 1940s and '50s, a group of eccentric geniuses—led by John von Neumann—gathered at the newly created Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Their joint project was the realization of the theoretical universal machine, an idea that had been put forth by mathematician Alan Turing. This group of brilliant engineers worked in isolation, almost entirely independent from industry and the traditional academic community. But because they relied exclusively on government funding, the government wanted its share of the results: the computer that they built also led directly to the hydrogen bomb. George Dyson has uncovered a wealth ...

Alan Turing - "God is Dead" - Tribute to the Great Enigma

Hello everybody, I felt I should make a tribute to if not one of the fathers of Computer Science, and the ever famous "Halting Problem" using the Turing Machine. He is known for being the founder of the concept of the computer alongside others such as John Von Neumann but, noted as the father of it. Through his work on decidability and demonstrating the work of Kurt Godel in the form of logical machines. Not only was his mathematical and foundational computer science progress was important, he stood up strongly for his beliefs that all people should be able to live their life without hypocrisy of things such as anti-homosexuality, religions and lies. He showed and tried to show us that we are all finite and incomplete, we just need to embrace life for what it is. Also for his efforts in WW2 by decrypting the Enigma machine. Definitely one of my heroes. The british government recently apologized for their actions against Alan Turing due to his homosexuality: "So on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better." Music: "Pieces" by RED (no copyright infringement intended, this is the tribute to the father of computer science and the computer) Video contributed by BBC (no copyright infringement intended, this is a tribute to a great man), and clips of my own research in visual form on the topics of Goldbach's Conjecture.

Turing Machine implemented in Minecraft redstone and piston logic.

Seventy-five years ago the British mathematician Alan Turing proposed a theoretical device that could perform computations and provided the foundations of computer science. en.wikipedia.org This is a Minecraft implementation of a Turing Machine. Here it is running Turing's first example program, simply writing a sequence of symbols to the tape. I have 3 block pairs for each symbol; for this program, all glass down represents a blank, just the middle block down represents a zero, and the outside blocks down represent a one. The program writes the sequence blank, zero, blank, one, and repeats. en.wikipedia.org In theory the tape extends to infinity, but Minecraft isn't quite that big, so I have looped the tape around and joined it behind the machine. Each tape position can hold one of 8 different symbols including the blank. The magenta section is the read/write head; it pops the bottom blocks out for reading, and then writes to the tape by changing blocks around with pistons. picasaweb.google.com The orange section is the machine state. There are 4 latches allowing up to 16 possible states; I usually reserve zero as a halt state. The blue section is the action table, which is the program that defines the state transitions and the resulting actions on the tape. This Turing Machine has enough capacity to implement a Universal Turing Machine, but for a more practical demonstration I have coded a program that looks for palindromes. I've encoded a sequence of symbols GAATTC ...
