ENIAC, on the other hand, could do it in 30 seconds and with a greater precision than the differential analyzer. Keeping it Running. Tubes aren’t known for being highly reliable.

ENIAC is the world's first electronic computer. As a stand-alone device, it didn't support networking, although it facilitated a network of humans who used it for years to aid the efforts of World War ...

ENIAC’s work to investigate the distance that neutrons would likely travel through various materials helped popularize Monte Carlo methods of calculations. “ENIAC certainly goes down as a pivotal ...

ENIAC operated on punch card, which were the input/output device had one multiplier, one divider/square rooter and twenty adder. It was a very fast machine compared to the eariler elecromechanical ...

There are many reasons why working in Philly tech is inherently cool, but one of our favorites is that the city is the birthplace of the world’s very first all-electronic, programmable computer — the ...

ENIAC was quite an accomplishment back then and continues to inspire new technologies today, Marcus says. “It really was a proof of concept project to show that a general-purpose, high speed ...

The ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, could churn 5,000 addition problems in one second, far faster than any device yet invented.

How the world's first real computer, the ENIAC, was restored by an unlikely group of conservationists—all thanks to Ross Perot.

ENIAC filled an entire room. With its bank of blinking lights and 6,000 manual switches, it looked like something we'd associate with a 1950s science fiction movie. Probably because it's what ...

“The ENIAC weighed 30 tons, covered 1,500 square feet of floor space, used over 17,000 vacuum tubes (five times more than any previous device), 70,000 resistors,10,000 capacitors, 1,500 relays ...
