快科技2月15日消息，1946年的今天，世界上第一台通用目的数字计算机诞生了，名叫“电子数字积分计算机”，英文缩写“ENIAC”(埃尼阿克)。 事实上，ENIAC只是世界上的第二台电子计算机——开创者属于ABC(阿塔纳索夫-贝瑞计算机)——它只是第一台通用电子计算机。 但这丝毫不影响它在历史上的地位，因为它是完全的电子计算机，能够重新编程，解决各种计算问题，使得人类首次以电子速度进行数学计算。 E ...

ENIAC ，全称为电子数值积分计算机（Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer），是计算机发展史上一个里程碑式的存在。它重达27吨，体积庞大，需要占据一间9*15米的房间。其核心由大约18000个 真空电子管 构成，通过控制电子流的通断来实现二进制运算。想象一下，在那个年代，这绝对是技术奇迹。运行 ENIAC ...
