FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The EDVAC was a binary serial computer with automatic addition, subtraction, multiplication, programmed division and automatic checking with an ultrasonic serial memory capacity of 1, 024 44-bit words, thus giving a memory, in modern terms, of 5.6 kilobytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Even before the ENIAC was finished, Eckert and Mauchly recognized its limitations and started the design of a stored-program computer, EDVAC.

Detailed explanation-3: -ENIAC: electronic numerical integrator and computer. EDVAC: electronic discrete variable automatic computer.

Detailed explanation-4: -EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was one of the earliest electronic computers. Unlike its predecessor the ENIAC, it was binary rather than decimal, and was a stored-program computer. ENIAC inventors John Mauchly and J.

Detailed explanation-5: -EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was the successor to the ENIAC computer (Fig. 23.3). It was a stored program computer and it cost $500, 000. Eckert and Mauchly proposed it in 1944, and design work commenced prior to the completion of ENIAC.
