Presper Eckert was co-inventor of ENIAC, introduced to the public at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946. ENIAC was considered a computer marvel, containing over 17,000 vacuum tubes and weighing over 30 tons. Although ENIAC was not the first computer, it was the first electronic device designed to carry out general-purpose computation. It could add, subtract, multiply, divide, and extract square roots, as well as predict weather, calculate atomic energy, study cosmic rays and examine wind tunnel design. ENIAC, housed at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, was 1,000 times faster than previous electromechanical calculators. Inventor Bio

This Week Inventor Archive Inventor Search Inventor of the Week Archive Browse for a different Invention or Inventor The Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC) John William Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert are the scientists credited with the invention of the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC), the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, completed in 1946. Mauchly was born August 30, 1907 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His father was a physicist at the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D.C., and perhaps influenced by him, young Mauchly became adept in the sciences. This earned him the Engineering Scholarship of the State of Maryland, which enabled him to enroll at Johns Hopkins University in the fall of 1925 as an undergraduate in the Electrical Engineering program. In 1927 he enrolled directly in a Ph.D. program there and transferred to the graduate physics program of the university. He completed his Ph.D. in 1932 and became a professor of physics at Ursinus College near Philadelphia. J. Presper Eckert Jr. was born April 9, 1919 in Philadelphia. In 1937 he entered the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in 1941. Afterwards he was given a post as an instructor at the Moore School. Meanwhile, in 1941, Mauchly had become a student there in a new program designed to educate students on defense technology. Eckert was one of his teachers.

John W. Mauchly and the Development of the ENIAC Computer An Exhibition in the Department of Special Collections Van Pelt Library, University of Pennsylvania by Asaf Goldschmidt and Atsushi Akera Department of History and Sociology of Science University of Pennsylvania Introduction The year 1996 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the ENIAC computer, the first large-scale general-purpose electronic computer. Built at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering, ENIAC is an acronym for "Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer," but its birth lay in World War II as a classified military project known only as Project PX. The ENIAC is important historically, because it laid the foundations for the modern electronic computing industry. More than any other machine, the ENIAC demonstrated that high-speed digital computing was possible using the then-available vacuum tube technology. General View of the ENIAC, 1946. Photograph of John W. Mauchly, ca. 1940-50. We attempt in this exhibition Recommended texts, currently in print, to learn more about ENIAC and the development of the personal computer:

J. Presper Eckert Born 1919 - Died 1995 Eckert was a grad student studying at the Moore School in 1943. There, he met John Mauchly, who spoke about the idea of an electronic version of the Ganged Calculator. Mauchley needed someone to oversee the design and construction of the ENIAC, and it was J. Presper Eckert who rose to the challenge. They completed the first general purpose digital computer in 1946. Later that year, Eckert and Mauchly started a business partnership that become the Eckert-Mauchly Corp.

Presper Eckert (1919-1995) e John William Mauchly (1907-1980) Eckert Mauchly Tecnologi americani. Furono i creatori dei primi calcolatori elettronici digitali: l'ENIAC - in collaborazione con Herman H. Goldstine - e in seguito l'UNIVAC e il BINAC L'entità del loro contributo alla realizzazione dell'EDVAC è stato invece oggetto di controversie, anche legali, che li hanno visti schierati contro von Neumann e lo stesso Goldstine. La loro società, con la quale avevano prodotto l'UNIVAC, fu in seguito assorbita dalla Sperry Rand Co Nel 1945, i piani del computer moderno erano chiaramente definiti e l'EDVAC venne messo in cantiere. L'ENIAC era appena stato completato senza che, per questo, la tecnologia dei tubi a vuoto usati per il calcolo fosse accettata da tutti, nonostante l'autorità conferita al progetto dalla partecipazione di un uomo illustre come von Neumann. L'EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) sarà uno degli ultimi prototipi di computer costruito alla fine degli anni '40, pur essendo stata la prima macchina di questo tipo messa in cantiere: infatti sarà completata solo nel 1951.
