What was the name of one of the first computers used publicly in 1944?
Harvard Mark I, also known as the Advanced Sequence Controlled Calculator or ASCC.
Who invented mark-1?
The IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), called the Mark I by Harvard University, was an electro-mechanical computer. The electromechanical ASCC was devised by Howard H. Aiken, built at IBM and shipped to Harvard in February 1944.
How many vacuum tubes did the Harvard Mark I computer have?
None. The Harvard Mark 1 ASCC (IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator) was an electromechanical computer built for Harvard by IBM's Endicott NY facility in 1944. It was constructed from 765,000 components which included switches, relays, motors, rotating shafts, and clutches. It contained no vacuum tubes.The Harvard Mark III ADEC (Aiken Dahlgren Electronic Calculator) was the first computer to use vacuum tubes. It was built at Harvard in 1949 using 5000 vacuum tubes and 1500 crystal diodes, along with electromechanical components. The Harvard Mark IV, built in 1952, was the first fully electronic design.
What technology did first general purpose computers use?
Harvard Mark I
What did howard aiken invent?
The MARK series Mark I Mark II, computer/calculator one of the first computers
Which was the first computer that used electromagnetic relays?
Harvard Mark I
When was Harvard Mark I created?
Harvard Mark I was created in 1944.
When did the first ever computer come out?
The IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), called the Mark I by Harvard University,[1] was the first large-scale automatic digital computer in the USA. It is considered by some to be the first universal calculator. The electromechanical ASCC was devised by Howard H. Aiken created at IBM, shipped to Harvard in February 1944, and formally delivered there on August 7, 1944 - mayur_vaghela@yahoo.co.uk
What did Howard Aiken do to help to progress of computers?
He designed several computers for Harvard University, starting with the electromechanical Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator which was built by IBM but after an argument between Aiken and IBM he renamed it the Harvard Mark i and banished IBM from Harvard. The rest of his computers were built entirely by people from Harvard.
What was IBMs first computer and what year did it come out?
IBM's first computer was the IBM ASCC at Harvard University (later renamed the Harvard Mark I due to an argument between IBM and Howard Hathaway Aiken of Harvard) in 1944.IBM's first electronic computer was the IBM 701 in 1952.
Who is the first computer that uses electromagnetic relays?
Either Zuse Z3 or Harvard Mark I.
Where was the Harvard mark 1 computer made?
Harvard University
