ENIAC

ENIAC is an abbreviation of Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer that was one-of-a-kind design and was never repeated. ENIAC was born in November, 1945 in US, and it was a Decimal Electronic Program-controlled by patch cables and switches. It was the first general-purpose electronic computer. The ENIAC was a modular computer, composed of individual panels to perform different functions. It was called the "Giant Brain" in the press since it was a leap in computing power that has never been repeated. The ENIAC 's design and construction was financed by the United States Army during WW2 and was designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, from the University of Pennsylvania. The team of design engineers assisting the development included Bob Shaw (function tables), Chuan Chu (divider/square-rooter), Kite Sharpless (master programmer), Arthur Burks (multiplier), Harry Huskey (reader/printer), and Jack Davis (accumulators).
