The EDVAC was a binary serial computer with automatic addition, subtraction, multiplication, programmed division and automatic checking with an ultrasonic serial memory [3] capacity of 1,024 44-bit words, thus giving a memory, in modern terms, of 5.6 kilobytes.
2 lis 2024 · Acronym for Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer. An early stored-program electronic digital computer, originally commissioned from the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School by the US Army in 1944 while the ENIAC was still under construction, but not operational until 1952.
The EDVAC computer was the first modern, electronic stored-program computer to be designed. It was, however, never produced to the original plan. When eventually redesigned and constructed, it was unreliable and heavily modified.
15 sie 2018 · The manuscript uses a different code from the one presented in the First Draft, however, a development linked to changes in EDVAC’s hardware design. This chapter describes the evolution of EDVAC and its code during 1945 and summarizes the code used to write the meshing routine.
Abstract: This chapter contains sections titled: Rethinking ENIAC, Collaborative Work toward EDVAC, Progress on EDVAC, What the First Draft Described, A Gradual Counter-Reformation
6 sie 2002 · Abstract: It is well known that the EDVAC was the first general-purpose electronic digital stored-program computer to be designed.
This chapter charts the rapid evolution of thinking about programming and computer architecture among members of the ENIAC team from 1944 onward, as what is usually called the “stored program concept” was formulated with John von Neumann and presented in the “First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC.”
