One was the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Computer, or EDSAC, which was developed in Cambridge, England. It first operated in May of 1949 and is probably the world's 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 operationalin August of 1949 在EDVC完成之前,其他一些机器建成了,它们吸收了 Eckert MauM和 Neuman设计的要素。其中一部是在英国剑桥研制的电子延迟 存储自动计算机或简称 EDSAC,它在1949年5月首次运行,它可能是世 界的第一台电子储存程序、通用型计算机投入运行。在美国运行的第 部计算机是二进制自动计算机,或简称BNAC它在1949年8月投入运行。 1-10Chapter 1 The History and Future of Computers 计算机专业英语 1-10 1.1.1 The ENIAC Before the EDVAC was finished, several other machines were built that incorporated elements of the EDVAC design of Eckert, Mauchly, and von Neuman.
