What is Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator?
[[Image:EDSAC (10).jpg|thumb|200px|EDSAC]] '''Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator''' ('''EDSAC''') was an early [[United Kingdom|British]] [[computer]]. It was made by [[Maurice Wilkes]] and his team at the [[University of Cambridge]] Mathematical Laboratory in [[England]]. EDSAC was the first [[Von Neumann architecture|stored-program]] electronic computer. It was also the first to run a [[video game|computer game]]. Later the project was supported by [[J. Lyons and Co.|J. Lyons & Co. Ltd.]], a British company. They were rewarded with the first [[industry|commercial]] computer, [[LEO (computer)|LEO I]]. LEO I was based on the EDSAC design. EDSAC ran its first programs on 6 May 1949, when it calculated a table of [[square number]]s<ref>{{cite journal|date=2011|title=Pioneer computer to be rebuilt|journal=Cam|volume=62|page=5}}. Precisely, EDSAC's first program printed a list of the square numbers of the integers from 0 to 99.</ref> and a list of [[prime number]]s. == References == {{reflist}} {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Historical computers]] [[Category:University of Cambridge]]
