Write the difference between EDVAC and EDSAC
Answers
ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was the first general purpose computer. It was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly. It was primarily designed, and used, to calculate artillery tables for the Army, it was also used to study the feasibility of thermonuclear bombs. It was programmed with with hard-wired function tables that each had 1200 10-way switches. It could also receive input from IBM punch cards, and used an IBM card punch for output, which could then be sent to an IBM accounting machine to be printed. It was octal based, rather than binary.
EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was the successor to ENIAC, was binary based, and used stored programs, and was also designed by Eckert and Mauchly,
EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was the successor to ENIAC, was binary based, and used stored programs, and was also designed by Eckert and Mauchly, UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I) was the first commercial computer. It was designed by the same two men who designed ENIAC and EDVAC.
