Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine

Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine Replica of the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM) at the  Museum of Science and Industry  in Castlefield ,  Manchester The  Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine  ( SSEM ), nicknamed Baby , was the world's first  stored-program computer . It was built at the  Victoria University of Manchester , England, by  Frederic C. Williams ,  Tom Kilburn  and Geoff Tootill , and ran its first program on 21 June 1948. [1] The machine was not intended to be a practical computer but was instead designed as a  testbed  for the  Williams tube , an early form of computer memory. Although considered "small and primitive" by the standards of its time, it was the first working machine to contain all the elements essential to a modern electronic computer. [2]  As soon as the SSEM had demonstrated the feasibility of its design, a project was initiated at the university ...

Timeline of computing hardware 2400 BC–1949

Timeline of computing hardware 2400 BC–1949 This article presents a detailed  timeline  of events in the history of  computing hardware : from prehistory until 1949 . For narratives explaining the overall developments, see  History of computing . Contents Prehistory –1640 Edit Date Event 80000 BC Two notched rib bones may have been used for counting but they could have been merely decorative. [1] 18000 BC The  Ishango bone , may indicate that – even so early – material objects were used for simple arithmetical operations, and it may provide evidence of some knowledge of  prime numbers  (although this is disputed). [2] c. 2400 BC The  abacus  – the first known calculator, was probably invented by the  Babylonians  as an aid to simple  arithmetic around this time period. This laid the foundations for  positional notation  and later  computing  developments. c.   1115 BC The...
