EDVAC is delivered to the Ballistics Research Laboratory
|
August 1949 EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was one of the earliest electronic computers. It was invented by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania. Work began on EDVAC in August 1944, two years before its predecessor ENIAC was fully operational. EDVAC had a number of major differences from ENIAC. It operated in binary rather than decimal, and was a stored-program computer. In August 1949, EDVAC was delivered to the Ballistics Research Laboratory. However, it was not fully working until 1951. EDVAC ran until 1961. Related information: Image:
