Detailed explanation-1: -In the fifth generation, VLSI technology became ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology, resulting in the production of microprocessor chips having ten million electronic components. This generation is based on parallel processing hardware and AI (Artificial Intelligence) software.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Fifth Generation computers are defined as the computers which will be used predominantly in 1990s. Supercomputers will be used in scientific and engineering calculations and simulations. Database machines and present mainframe computers will be networked in order to organise worldwide information systems.
Detailed explanation-3: -Artificial Intelligence is associated with fifth-generation computer devices that include large scale integration, parallel processing, high-speed logic and memory chips, and voice integration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fifth-generation languages are used mainly in artificial intelligence research. OPS5 and Mercury are examples of fifth-generation languages, as is ICAD, which was built upon Lisp. KL-ONE is an example of a related idea, a frame language.
