IAS机器于1952年运行,是第一代数字计算机的原型。


Establishing a Pattern: Von Neumann at the IAS

The earliest advanced computers were one-of-a-kind. The machine developed by mathematician John von Neumann at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) was an exception.

Seventeen similar vacuum tube machines were built by governments and scientific institutions around the world, standardizing the approach of storing programs and data in a common memory.

建立模式:IAS的Von Neumann

最早的先进计算机是独一无二的。数学家John von Neumann在高级研究所(IAS)开发的这台机器是一个例外。

世界各地的政府和科研机构共建造了17台类似的真空管机器,标准化了将程序和数据存储在共同存储器中的方法。



Los Alamos MANIAC computer

The Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator And Computer did the calculations for ”Project Mike,” which produced the first hydrogen bomb. It was similar to the other IAS-inspired machines, though all were different enough that they could not exchange programs.

洛斯阿拉莫斯MANIAC电脑

数学分析仪,数值积分器和计算机对“Project Mike”进行了计算,该计算产生了第一颗氢弹。它与其他受IAS启发的机器类似,尽管它们各不相同,无法交换程序。


In a Class (and Building) By Itself: The UNIVAC LARC

Simulating nuclear weapons is a big task, requiring a big computer. So big that the Lawrence Livermore National Lab had to build a special building for it.

The UNIVAC LARC, Remington Rand’s first supercomputer, arrived at Livermore via five 18-wheel trucks. It was the world’s fastest computer from 1960-1961, despite using already obsolete transistors.

在一个班级(和建筑物)本身:UNIVAC LARC

模拟核武器是一项艰巨的任务,需要一台大型计算机。劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室必须为它建造一座特殊的建筑物。

Remington Rand的第一台超级计算机UNIVAC LARC通过五辆18轮卡车抵达利弗莫尔。尽管使用已经过时的晶体管,它仍然是1960年至1961年间世界上最快的计算机。



Univac LARC being transported to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Supercomputers are physically large systems, often requiring special transportation and handling. The newspaper headline reads: "REMINGTON RAND UNIVAC SHIPS LARC COMPUTER TO A.E.C." LARC occupied nearly 3,000 square feet of floor space and weighed 115,000 pounds.

Univac LARC被运往劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室

超级计算机是物理上很大的系统,通常需要特殊的运输和处理。报纸的标题是:“REMLAN RAND UNIVAC SHIPS LARC COMPUTER to AEC”LARC占地面积近3,000平方英尺,重115,000磅。

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used LARC, a custom-built supercomputer, to design bombs. Although only two were built, LARC spurred IBM’s "Stretch" project to compete in this new supercomputer class.
