Instructions: Write in a paragraph form that answers the following questions and
situations being referred to.
•ENIAC
Electronic Numerical Integrator Computer - The first electronic, programmable, general-
purpose digital computer was finished in 1945. These features were featured on other
computers, but the ENIAC had them all in one place. It could be reprogrammed to handle
a variety of numerical issues and was Turing-complete. Consequently, the United States
During World War II, engineers created the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer,
the first programmable general-purpose electronic digital computer.
•EDVAC
Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer - was designed to receive electronic
commands. The program would also be stored in the same place as the numbers the
computer would be processing. It would be encoded in zeros and ones. There are many
advantages to allowing a program to treat its own instructions as data.
•UNIVAC
Universal Automatic Computer - A commercial data processing computer called the
UNIVAC I was developed to replace the use of accounting machines that used punched
cards. The fastest business machine ever created; it could read 7,200 decimal digits per
second (no binary numbers were used). They were the first machines capable of being
instructed to repeat instructions with little assistance from humans. They also
introduced the storage technology known as magnetic drums, which ultimately
developed into magnetic disks while retaining the same basic design.
•PDP
Personal Data Processor - Digital Equipment Corporation referred to numerous lines of
minicomputers under the name "Programmable Data Processor" (PDP), sometimes
known as the "Programmable Data Processor," from 1957 to 1990. In 1960, Digital
Equipment Corporation introduced the PDP (DEC, which was purchased by Compaq in
1998). The PDP-1 included expandable RAM, multiple steps deferred addressing, solid-
state logic circuits, completely parallel processing, a computation rate of 100,000
additions per second, and fully parallel processing.
