Definition of "Eckert, John Presper" |
Eckert is best known as one of the designers of ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator), an early computer. Like many computer pioneers during World War II, Eckert was looking for more efficient ways of calculating trajectory tables for artillery and ranging systems for radar. Eckert graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and remained there to work with John Mauchly. Eckert and Mauchly later formed a company and continued to develop and refine their machine. Eckert eventually sold the company to what would become the Sperry Rand Corporation. Here he produced UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Computer), one of the first commercially successful computers. The chief improvement of this machine over its predecessors was in its use of a stored memory. |
