Early Von Neumann-architecture Computers

The First Draft described a design that was used by many universities and corporations to construct their computers. Among these various computers, only ILLIAC and ORDVAC had compatible instruction sets.

  • Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), nicknamed "Baby" (University of Manchester, England) made its first successful run of a stored-program on June 21, 1948.
  • EDSAC (University of Cambridge, England) was the first practical stored-program electronic computer (May 1949)
  • Manchester Mark 1 (University of Manchester, England) Developed from the SSEM (June 1949)
  • CSIRAC (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) Australia (November 1949)
  • ORDVAC (U-Illinois) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland (completed November 1951)
  • IAS machine at Princeton University (January 1952)
  • MANIAC I at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (March 1952)
  • ILLIAC at the University of Illinois, (September 1952)
  • AVIDAC at Argonne National Laboratory (1953)
  • ORACLE at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (June 1953)
  • JOHNNIAC at RAND Corporation (January 1954)
  • BESK in Stockholm (1953)
  • BESM-1 in Moscow (1952)
  • DASK in Denmark (1955)
