ENIAC - background
lElectronic Numerical Integrator And Computer
lDesigned by Eckert and Mauchly
lUniversity of Pennsylvania
lMainly used for Trajectory tables for weapons
lStarted 1943
lFinished 1946
• Too late for war effort
lUsed until 1955
ENIAC - details
lDecimal Number Based System (not binary)
l20 accumulators of 10 digits
lProgrammed manually by switches
l18,000 vacuum tubes
l30 tons
l15,000 square feet
l140 kW power consumption
l5,000 additions per second
Vacuum tubes
ENIAC
von Neumann/Turing
lStored Program concept
lMain memory storing programs and data
lALU operating on binary data
lControl unit interpreting instructions from memory and executing
lInput and output equipment operated by control unit
lPrinceton Institute for Advanced Studies
• IAS
lCompleted 1952
von Neumann
UNIVAC II
IBM
lPunched-card processing equipment
l1953 - the 701
• IBM’s first stored program computer
• Scientific calculations
l1955 - the 702
• Business applications
lLead to 700/7000 series that established IBM as the dominant
computer manufacturer.
IBM 701
Transistors
lReplaced vacuum tubes
lSmaller Size
lCheaper than earlier vacuum tube
lLess heat dissipation
lSolid State device
lMade from Silicon (Sand)
lInvented 1947 at Bell Labs
lWilliam Shockley et al.
Transistor Based Computers
lSecond generation machines
• Electronic equipment was discrete components: transistors,
resistors, capacitors and so on.
• NCR & RCA produced small transistor machines
• IBM 7000
• DEC - 1957
• Produced PDP-1
lThe second generation saw the introduction of more
complex arithmetic and logic units and control units,
the use of high level programming languages and the
provision of system software with the computer.
