Which of the following is first generation computer?
a. EDVAC
b. IBM1401
c. CDC 1604
d. ICL2900

Anonymous: The first computer systems used vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory, and were often enormous, taking up entire rooms. the first generation computers include ENIAC, EDVAC, UNIVAC, IBM-701, and IBM-650. These computers were large and very unreliable. They would heat up and frequently shut down and could only be used for very basic computations.

Answer:

Option a. EDVAC is the first generation of computer.

Explanation:

EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) - It is one of the oldest electronic computers. It was constructed by Moore School of Electrical Engineering, Pennsylvania along with ORDVAC.
EDVAC was a binary serial computer with automatic programmed addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. Also had automatic checking in combination with ultrasonic serial memory.
EDVAC had a capacity of 1,024 44-bit words, average addition time of 864 microseconds and average multiplication time of 2,900 microseconds.
Examples of the first generation computers which were large and unreliable are ENIAC, EDSAC, UNIVAC, IBM-701, and IBM-650.
