2 days ago · Computer - UNIVAC, Computing, Data Storage: After leaving the Moore School, Eckert and Mauchly struggled to obtain capital to build their latest design, a computer they called the Universal Automatic Computer, or UNIVAC.
2 days ago · Early history. Computer precursors. The abacus. The earliest known calculating device is probably the abacus. It dates back at least to 1100 bce and is still in use today, particularly in Asia.
5 days ago · ENIAC inventors John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert proposed the EDVAC's construction in August 1944, and design work for the EDVAC commenced at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering, before the ENIAC was fully operational.
2 days ago · J. Presper Eckert and John V. Mauchly developed ENIAC, a general-purpose computer with 18,000 vacuum tubes. EDVAC: Von Neumann designed EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer). It was one of the first stored-program computers, which stored data as instructions.
5 days ago · ENIAC, short for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, was the first general-purpose electronic computer. It was developed by a team of engineers at the University of Pennsylvania, led by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly. ENIAC was a massive machine, weighing over 30 tons and containing over 18,000 vacuum tubes.
2 days ago · Although von Neumann was the sole named author, J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly who designed ENIAC claim they devised the fundamentally revolutionary stored program aspect of EDVAC's architecture.
