A description of the electronic computer at the institute for advanced studies

Published: 01 June 1952 Publication History

Abstract

In June, 1946 John von Neumann, Herman H. Goldstine, and Arthur W. Burks set forth logical principles on the basis of which they proposed to construct a general purpose computing machine at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Something less than six years later the results of labors directed by Julian H. Bigelow bore fruit. Twenty-three hundred vacuum tubes cooperated to solve the machine's first major problem at the beginning of this year.
