ENIAC in Action
Making and Remaking the Modern Computer
Thomas Haigh, Mark Priestley, and Crispin Rope
Conceived in 19-43, completed in 1 945, and decom-
missioned in 1955, ENIAC (Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer) was the first general-
purpose programmable electronic computer. But
ENIAC was more than just a milestone on the road
to the modern computer. During its decade of op-
erational life, ENIAC calculated sines and cosines
and tested for statistical outliers, plotted the trajec-
tories of bombs and shells, and ran the first numer-
ical weather simulations. EW/AC in Action tells the
whole story for the first time, from ENIAC’s design,
construction, testing, and use to its afterlife as part
of computing folklore. It highlights the complex
relationship of ENIAC and its designers to the rev-
olutionary approaches to computer architecture
and coding first documented by John von Neumann
in 1 945.
Within this broad sweep, the authors empha-
size the crucial but previously neglected years of
1947 and 1948, when ENIAC was reconfigured to
run what the authors claim was the first modern
computer program to be executed: a simulation
of atomic fission for Los Alamos researchers. The
authors look at ENIAC as a machine of war, as the
“first computer,” as a material artifact constantly
remade by its users, and as a subject of (contra-
dictory) historical narratives. They integrate the
history of ENIAC and its applications, describing
the mathematicians, scientists, and engineers who
proposed and designed the machine as well as the
men — and particularly the women — who built it,
programmed it, and operated it.
