MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -The EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Computer), built in 1945–1950. (3) The Von Neumann Computer, built in 1946–1951. The first two were designed and constructed at the University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering, in Philadelphia.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ENIAC was modified to run as a primitive read-only stored-program computer (using the Function Tables for program ROM) and was demonstrated as such on September 16, 1948, running a program by Adele Goldstine for von Neumann.

Detailed explanation-3: -EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was one of the earliest electronic computers. It was built by Moore School of Electrical Engineering, Pennsylvania. Along with ORDVAC, it was a successor to the ENIAC.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -In 1945, in his first draft of a report on the EDVAC [a planned successor machine to the ENIAC, one of the first American computers], von Neumann proposed the stored program concept. The idea grew out of discussions he had with several other computer pioneers, among them J.
