11 maio 1949 ano - EDVAC Delivered to the Ballistics Research Laboratory

Descrição:

EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was one of the earliest electronic computers, and it got its name from John von Neumann's previous paper "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC". Unlike its predecessor the ENIAC, it was binary rather than decimal, and was a stored-program computer.


1. The EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) pioneered the "stored program concept".

2. Since Von Neumann was the technical advisers, this computer became the first one to adapt "Von Neumann architecture".

3. It allowed programs to be read into the computer and so gave birth to the age of general-purpose computers.
