12、 Future of Computers 计算机专业英语1-101.1.1 The ENIACPerhaps the most influential of the early computerlike devices was the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer,or ENIAC.It was developed by J.Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania.The project began in 1943 and was comple

13、ted in 1946.The machine was huge;it weighed 30 tons and contained over 18,000 vacuum tubes.也也许许早早期期最最具具影影响响力力的的类类似似计计算算机机的的装装置置应应该该是是电电子子数数字字积积分分计计算算机机，或或简简称称ENIACENIAC。它它是是由由宾宾夕夕凡凡尼尼亚亚大大学学的的J.J.Presper Presper Eckert Eckert 和和John John Mauchly Mauchly 研研制制的的。该该工工程程于于19431943年年开开始始，并并于于19461946年年完完成

14、成。这这台台机机器器极极其庞大，重达其庞大，重达3030吨，而且包含吨，而且包含18,00018,000多个真空管。多个真空管。1.1 The Invention of the Computer Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 计算机专业英语1-111.1.1 The ENIACThe ENIAC was a major advancement for its time.It was the first general-purpose,electronic computing machine and was capable of pe

15、rforming thousands of operations per second.It was controlled,however,by switches and plugs that had to be manually set.Thus,although it was a general-purpose electronic device,it did not have a stored program.Therefore,it did not have all the characteristics of a computer.ENIAC是是当当时时重重要要的的成成就就。它它是是

16、第第一一台台通通用用型型电电子子计计算算机机器器，并并能能够够执执行行每每秒秒数数千千次次运运算算。然然而而,它它是是由由开开关关和和继继电电器器控控制制的的，必必须须手手工工设设定定。因因此此，虽虽然然它它是是一一个个通通用用型型电电子子装装置置，但但是是它它没没有有储储存存程程序序。因因此此,它它不具备计算机的所有特征。不具备计算机的所有特征。1.1 The Invention of the Computer Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 计算机专业英语1-121.1.1 The ENIACWhile working on th

17、e ENIAC,Eckert and Mauchly were joined by a brilliant mathematician,John von Neuman.Together,they developed the idea of a stored program computer.This machine,called the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer,or EDVAC,was the first machine whose design included all the characteristics of a

18、computer.It was not completed,however,until 1951.在在ENIAC的研制中，一个天才的数学家的研制中，一个天才的数学家Von Neuman(冯冯.诺伊曼诺伊曼)加入加入到到 Eckert和和Mauchly团队团队,他们一起提出了储存程序计算机的主意。这部他们一起提出了储存程序计算机的主意。这部机器被称做电子离散变量自动计算机机器被称做电子离散变量自动计算机,或简称或简称EDVAC,是第一部包括了计是第一部包括了计算机所有特征的机器。然而算机所有特征的机器。然而,直到直到1951年，它一直没有完成。年，它一直没有完成。1.1 The Inventio

19、n of the Computer Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 计算机专业英语1-131.1.1 The ENIACBefore the EDVAC was finished,several other machines were built that incorporated elements of the EDVAC design of Eckert,Mauchly,and von Neuman.One was the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Computer,or EDSAC,w

20、hich was developed in Cambridge,England.It first operated in May of 1949 and is probably the worlds first electronic stored-program,general-purpose computer to become operational.The first computer to operate in the United States was the Binary Automatic Computer,or BINAC,which became operational in

21、 August of 1949.在在EDVAC完完成成之之前前，其其他他一一些些机机器器建建成成了了，它它们们吸吸收收了了Eckert、Mauchly和和Neuman设设计计的的要要素素。其其中中一一部部是是在在英英国国剑剑桥桥研研制制的的电电子子延延迟迟存存储储自自动动计计算算机机,或或简简称称EDSAC，它它在在1949年年5月月首首次次运运行行，它它可可能能是是世世界界的的第第一一台台电电子子储储存存程程序序、通通用用型型计计算算机机投投入入运运行行。在在美美国国运运行行的的第第一一部计算机是二进制自动计算机部计算机是二进制自动计算机,或简称或简称BINAC,它在它在1949年年8月投入
