ENIAC inventors, John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, proposed the EDVAC's construction in August 1944. A contract to build the new computer was signed in April 1946 with an initial budget of US$100,000. EDVAC was delivered to the Ballistic Research Laboratory in 1949.
EDVAC (ang. Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) – maszyna zbudowana według projektu J. Prespera Eckerta, J.W. Mauchly'ego i Johna von Neumanna, oddana w kwietniu 1949, działająca od stycznia 1952 do końca 1962 . Projekt komputera zaczął powstawać w roku 1944, w trakcie prac nad jego poprzednikiem, ENIAC-iem.
MICHAEL R. WILLIAMS. 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.
John William Mauchly (/ ˈ m ɔː k l i / MAWK-lee; August 30, 1907 – January 8, 1980) was an American physicist who, along with J. Presper Eckert, designed ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, as well as EDVAC, BINAC and UNIVAC I, the first commercial computer made in the United States.
After the war, in 1945, von Neumann drafted a report and machine description that led to the construction of the EDVAC, or Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer. Von Neumann's report marked the first conceptualization of the stored-program computer.
23 maj 2018 · 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.
In Maurice Wilkes. …Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC), in which both the data and the programs that would manipulate the data would be stored within EDVAC’s memory. This stored-program computer was an advance upon previous machines such as the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), in which the program instructions ...
