Twenty of these modules were accumulators that could not only add and subtract, but hold a ten-digit decimal number in memory. In 1946, the researchers resigned from the University of Pennsylvania and formed the Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation.ĮNIAC was a large, modular computer, composed of individual panels to perform different functions. Significant development work was undertaken by the female mathematicians who handled the bulk of the ENIAC programming: Jean Jennings, Marlyn Wescoff, Ruth Lichterman, Betty Snyder, Frances Bilas, and Kay McNulty. Shaw (function tables), Jeffrey Chuan Chu (divider/square-rooter), Thomas Kite Sharpless (master programmer), Frank Mural (master programmer), Arthur Burks (multiplier), Harry Huskey (reader/printer) and Jack Davis (accumulators). The team of design engineers assisting the development included Robert F. Presper Eckert of the University of Pennsylvania, U.S. ĮNIAC was designed by John Mauchly and J. Goldstine persuaded the Army to fund the project, which put him in charge to oversee it for them.

It was Turing-complete and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming. 1947–1955)ĮNIAC ( / ˈ ɛ n i æ k/ Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer made in 1945.
