ENIAC was a large, modular computer, composed of individual panels to perform different functions. Twenty of these modules were accumulators that could not only add and subtract, but hold a ten-digit decimal number in memory.

2025年3月20日 · ENIAC, the first programmable general-purpose electronic digital computer, built during World War II by the United States and completed in 1946. The project was led by John Mauchly, J. Presper Eckert, Jr., and their colleagues. ENIAC was the most powerful calculating device built to that time.

2024年6月14日 · ENIAC was the first general-purpose electronic-digital computer, which was vastly different from the electromechanical computers that existed before it. It incorporated vacuum tubes in place of the mechanical switches which …

When the Army’s Ordnance Ballistic Research Laboratory approved the project, Eckert became the driving force behind what experts now consider to be the world’s first digital, general-purpose...

Widely considered to be the first electric, digital, general-purpose computer, ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was one of the most influential technological innovations of World War II.

2017年11月23日 · The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), built in the years 1943 to 1946, is widely regarded as the first general-purpose electronic digital computer. The military needed ENIAC for the calculation of ballistic tables.

2021年5月2日 · Short for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, the ENIAC was the first electronic computer used for general purposes, such as solving numerical problems.

2025年2月14日 · Among the first of such military-funded computing projects, ENIAC —designed by engineers John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert—was commissioned by the US Army during World War II to calculate...

2024年12月30日 · The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, or ENIAC, is often heralded as the first general-purpose electronic digital computer. Developed in the United States during the 1940s, ENIAC’s design and construction were a monumental achievement in computer science and engineering.

The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) was a groundbreaking all-electronic computer developed during the early 1940s, a period when the predominance of analog devices was widely accepted.
