ENIAC is an English acronym of Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, used by the Laboratory of Ballistic Investigation of the Army of the United States.
The ENIAC was built in the University of Pennsylvania by John Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly. It occupied a surface of 167 m² and it operated with a total of 17.468 electronic valves. Physically, the ENIAC had 17.468 valves, 7.200 glass diodes, 1.500 relay, 70.000 resistances, 10.000 condensers and 5 million welding. It weighed 27 tn, 2,4 m measured x 0,9 m x 30 m; it used 1.500 electromagnetic switches and ;relay it required the manual operation of about 6.000 switches, and their program or software, when it required modifications, it took weeks of manual installation.
The ENIAC elevated the temperature from the local to 50ºC. To make the different operations to the there was him to change, to connect and to reconnect the cables. This work could last several days depending on the calculation that was carried out.
The ENIAC had a consumption of 160 kW.
At the 23.45 of October of 1955, 2 the ENIAC was disabled forever.
