ENIAC

ENIAC ( or ; Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was the first electronic general-purpose computer. It was Turing-complete, digital, and could solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.

Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory, its first programs included a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon.

ENIAC was formally dedicated at the University of Pennsylvania on February 15, 1946 and was heralded as a "Giant Brain" by the press. It had a speed on the order of one thousand (10) times faster than that of electro-mechanical machines; this computational power, coupled with general-purpose programmability, excited scientists and industrialists alike. This combination of speed and programmability allowed for thousands more calculations for problems, as ENIAC calculated a trajectory that took a human 20 hours in 30 seconds (a 2400x increase in speed).

Eniac (record producer)

Eniac (born Robert Borrmann) is a German composer and record producer, specializing in house music and techno. He is the writer and co-producer of several progressive house and progressive trance tracks, working collaboratively with other artists. He also produced gabber and psychedelic pop.

In July 2015 he released the single "People are People" on Motor Digital, Berlin.

  • Eniac (record producer), a German musical artist
  • European Nanoelectronics Initiative Advisory Council, a European Technology Platform for nanoelectronics

Usage examples of "eniac".

A modern personal computer has far more power and reliability than the first Eniac, and the "hydrocodes" which enable a computer to test and validate a weapon's design are easily duplicated.

All the work on the first hydrogen bomb was done on the first primitive computers - Eniac, I think it was called.
