I am enchanted by this tragic computer!

A paint-over of a character against a grainy, black & white vintage photo. Depicted as a young man with light skin tone, round glasses, and dark hair streaked with white, the personification of EDVAC peeks out from behind an open panel in the EDVAC computer.

"It is worth recalling that people complained when the stored-program computer rolled around (think EDVAC, circa 1951). Why? Well, the answer should be obvious. It was less reliable. It was slower. It removed the operator from the loop. It threatened specialized labor. It was conceptually impure."

Yeah and it is all running on an architecture von Neumann came up with in 1945 for the EDVAC. Just going real fucking fast.

In 1946, Rees was appointed head of the Mathematics Branch at the Office of Naval Research. She identified, funded and protected the development of foundational computational algorithms. Her decisions directly enabled the transition from manual, human calculation to electronic computing. /5
Mina Rees at her desk, ca. 1940s. In the late 1940s, different institutions were building entirely different computer architectures, such as the ENIAC, the EDVAC and the IAS machine. An algorithm written for one machine could not easily run on another, limiting scientific progress. By funding diverse computing projects simultaneously under the ONR, Rees forced early computer scientists to collaborate on algorithmic logic, planting the conceptual seeds for software portability and high-level programming languages.

#naukasbilbao25 Javier Pedreira @wicho.bsky.social @wicho@mastodon.social también nos habla del EDVAC y de John von Neumann; en su informe describió la arquitectura de Eckert-Mauchly sin nombrarles. Hoy se conoce como arquitectura de von Neumann.

Only lore here, at one point I had enough original documentation to build an EDVAC in my basement

Though, having seen a bunch of WW2 vintage reports from Aberdeen, the effort of creating ballistics tables for everything makes standardization quite attractive

Damn you von Neumann, damn you!

How dare you not predict the memory wall in you first draft on the EDVAC design in 1945!

Text reading "Greetings from Maryland" over a page of color sketches personifying various MD computer systems. From top left, clockwise: EDVAC-tan, depicted as a woman with medium skintone, in a black bikini and sunhat, lounging on the beach. ENIAC-tan (who looks similar to EDVAC-tan, but with a red two piece bathing suit and wider brimmed, veiled hat) and EDVAC-tan talking with each other. EDVAC-tan looking mischievous as she buries a sleeping ORDVAC-tan in sand. ORDVAC-tan wakes and yells at EDVAC, but she's already gone. ORDVAC-tan, depicted as a pale skinned woman with orange hair, in a Maryland flag print bikini and various bandages. NAREC-tan, depicted as a pale woman with blue hair, a yellow swimsuit and bucket full of blue crabs, walks with SEAC-tan, depicted as a tanned woman with graying black hair, a white beret, green swimsuit, and cybernetic eye behind glasses. She has a faint green glow. ENIAC-tan cautiously approaches the water as one of her servants holds her power cabling.

he was an incredible guy! I wish I'd figured it out sooner. He designed -- and signed! -- some of the boards for EDVAC

[January 1st, 1945] Eckert and Mauchly signed a contract to build the EDVAC, a groundbreaking electronic digital-stored program computer. Developed with input from John von Neumann, it was the first general-purpose computer of its kind.

my great uncle was at penn in the late '40s, he worked on ENIAC and EDVAC, the first two computers. He got a job at Eckert-Mauchly corporation, which became part of Sperry and then merged with Burroughs as Unisys. When I heard as a kid he worked at Unisys I was like 'lol ur company so boring'

ジョン・フォン・ノイマンがコンピューター (EDVAC) の開発が完了したとき「これで俺の次に賢い奴ができた」と言ったという逸話があるけど、もし彼が現在のAIに触れたら何て言うだろう。やっぱり「俺の次に賢い奴ができた」って言うのだろうか。

The reason memory bandwidths have gotten so absurd and why memory transfers take upwards of 30-40% of a chips power budget these days, date back to a design proposal by von neumann for the edvac. An architecture for computer that we still use.
