ILLIAC I
The
ILLIAC I or
Illinois Automatic Computer, an early computer built by the
University of Illinois, was based on the
Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) architecture developed by
John von Neumann. As with all computers of its era, it was a one of a kind machine that could not exchange programs with other computers (even other IAS machines). The computer was built in
1952. The computer had around 2,800 vacuum tubes in it. The ILLIAC was very powerful for its time. In 1956, it had more computing power than all of
Bell Labs. The ILLIAC was the first computer at the University of Illinois.
