When it was invented?
• At university of Pennsylvania J. Presper
Eckert and John
Mauchly invented ENIAC (Electronic Nume
rical Integrator and Computer) in
November of 1945, it was design and
construction was financed by the US
military.
Who invented the first programmable computer and where?
• In 1938, German civil engineer, Konrad Zuse built world’s the first freely programmable
binary driven mechanical computer what he called Z1. Konrad Zuse was considered the
inventor of the modern computer. It was programmable via punched tape or punched tape
reader.
Who invented the first commercial Computer?
In 1951, the first commercial computer that handle both
numerical and alphabetic and produced in the US what he
called UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Computer I). It was
designed by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, Who was
the inventors of ENIAC. It was a vacuum tube, limited speed of
memory computer that was used by US military and its input and
storage was magnetic tape or a magnetic drum.

ENIAC
• Military scientists started designing
the ENIAC during World War II to
calculate the trajectories of artillery
shells. By the time the power switch
was flipped in November of 1945,
however, the war was over. Instead,
ENIAC became a tool for Cold War
weapons — the developers of the first
hydrogen bomb went so far as to say
that the H-Bomb would never have
existed without the ENIAC.
• And while the ENIAC was a marvel for
its time, it was of course a dinosaur by
today’s standards. The ENIAC had
17,468 vacuum tubes that blew out
every couple of days. It took up 1,800
square feet of warehouse space and
weighed more than 25 tons
IBM’s Blue Gene/P
• Meanwhile, today’s supercomputers,
like IBM’s Blue Gene/P, bare almost no
comparison. The modern supercomputer
executes so many instructions per second
that computer scientists don’t even
measure their speed in instructions per
second.
• The Blue Gene/P has performed
incomprehensible feats such as helping to
map the human genome, simulating
radioactive decay, flying airplanes, and
even replicating human brain power. Sure,
at 1720 pounds, it’s enormous compared to
the modern laptop or tablet, but it is able
to calculate mind-boggling equations and
process an unheard of amount of data —
all while being 30 times smaller than the
ENIAC.
