    The ENIAC was the first general-purpose electronic computer built between 1943 and 1945 at the University of Pennsylvania. It weighed 30 tons, used over 18,000 vacuum tubes, and drew 150 kW of power. ENIAC was able to perform calculations that would have taken 100 engineers a year to do by hand, showing it was capable of greatly speeding up complex computations compared to human computers.

    Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer

    Jan Radovanović VII2


    ENIAC
    • ENIAC was short for Electronic Numerical Integrator And
    Computer. It was the first general purpose
    (programmable to solve any problem) electric computer.
    - built at the University of Pennsylvania between 1943 and
    1945 by two professors, JohnMauchlyand the 24 year old
    J. Presper Eckert,who got funding from the war
    department afterpromising they could build a machine
    that wouldreplace all the "computers”
    • weighed 30 tons,and used more than 18,000 vacuum tubes
    •Veličune tri spavaće sobe
    - drew 150 kW of power to operate

    It could do nuclear physics
    calculations (in two hours)
    which it would have taken
    100 engineers a year to do
    by hand.
    The system's program could
    be changed by rewiring a
    panel.
