1945 AD Von Neumann writes the "First Draft" In June 1944, the Hungarian- American mathematician Johann (John) Von Neumann first became aware of ENIAC Von Neumann, who was a consultant on the Manhattan Project , immediately recognized the role that could be played by a computer like ENIAC in solving the vast arrays of complex equations involved in designing atomic weapons. John von Neumann a A brilliant mathematician, Von Neumann crossed mathematics with subjects such as philosophy in ways that had never previously been conceived; for example, he was a pioneer of Game Theory , which continues to find numerous and diverse applications to this day. Von Neumann was tremendously excited by ENIAC and quickly became a consultant to both the ENIAC and EDVAC projects. In June 1945, he published a paper entitled "First Draft of a report to the EDVAC," in which he presented all of the basic elements of a stored-program computer: A memory containing both data and instructions. Also to allow both data and instruction memory locations to be read from, and written to, in any desired order. A calculating unit capable of performing both arithmetic and logical operations on the data.

John von Neumann Nacido el 28 de diciembre de 1903 , en Budapest, Hungría Fallecido el 8 de febrero de 1957, en Washington D.C., USA. John von Neumann matemático Húngaro-Americano que demostró en 1944 que las mecánicas de la onda de Schrödinger y las mecánicas de la matriz de Heisenberg eran matemáticamente equivalente. Él también desarrolló la teoría de los juegos (1944). Su padre, Max Neumann, era un banquero judío y su madre la hija de un rico comerciante. Max Neumann compró un título nobiliario (por aquella época, la nobleza estaba mejor considerada que la riqueza), aunque él nunca lo utilizó, pero sí su hijo John. Esta es la razón del «von» que acompaña al nombre. John, era el mayor de tres hermanos. De pequeño ya asombraba a todos por su memoria; dicen que leía una columna de la guía telefónica varias veces y era capaz de responder a las preguntas que le hiciesen de nombres, domicilios o teléfono. Cuando ingresó al colegio su primer profesor se dio cuenta que era un genio (por cierto en el mismo colegio también estaba Eugene Wigner, que fue intimo amigo de Neumann el resto de su vida. Wigner se dedicó a la física, porque, según dijo, “después de conocer a Neumann me di cuenta de la diferencia que había entre un matemático de primera y yo”. Neumann, ingresó como docente a la universidad de Berlín en 1926, donde estuvo hasta 1929. Luego, en el año académico 1929-30, se desempeñó como profesor en la universidad de Hamburgo. Durante este tiempo él trabajó principalmente en física cuántica y teoría operativa. También, entre 1926 y 1927 estudió en Göttingen (Hilbert fue su profesor). Ya, en esa época, los brillantes dotes de Neumann habían empezado a reconocerse.

John von Neumann Next Index Prev As a result of these techniques and several others, computing and programming became faster, more flexible, and more efficient, with the instructions in subroutines performing far more computational work. Frequently used subroutines did not have to be reprogrammed for each new problem but could be kept intact in "libraries" and read into memory when needed. Thus, much of a given program could be assembled from the subroutine library. The all-purpose computer memory became the assembly place in which parts of a long computation were stored, worked on piecewise, and assembled to form the final results. The computer control served as an errand runner for the overall process. As soon as the advantages of these techniques became clear, the techniques became standard practice. The first generation of modern programmed electronic computers to take advantage of these improvements appeared in 1947. This group included computers using random access memory (RAM), which is a memory designed to give almost constant access to any particular piece of information. These machines had punched-card or punched-tape input and output devices and RAMs of 1,000-word. Physically, they were much more compact than ENIAC: some were about the size of a grand piano and required 2,500 small electron tubes, far fewer than required by the earlier machines. The first- generation stored-program computers required considerable maintenance, attained perhaps 70% to 80% reliable operation, and were used for 8 to 12 years. Typically, they were programmed directly in machine language, although by the mid-1950s progress had been made in several aspects of advanced programming. This group of machines included EDVAC and UNIVAC, the first commercially available computers.

About John von Neumann John von Neumann was born in Budapest Hungary on December 28th, 1903. Von Neumann's genius showed through early on in his childhood. At the age of six he was already showing an interest in math and was able to exchange jokes with his father in classical Greek. By the age of eight he became fascinated with history and read all forty-four volumes of the universal history, which resided in the family’s library. John von Neumann received his early education at the Lutheran Gymnasium under the tutelage of Michael Fekete with whom he published his first paper at the age of eighteen. Von Neumann studied chemistry at the University of Berlin, until 1923 when he went to Technische Hochschule in Zurich where he received his diploma in Chemical Engineering in 1925. Von Neumann subsequently received his doctoral degree in Mathematics in 1928 from the University of Budapest at the age of twenty-two. His dissertation topic was set theory. Near the end of 1929, von Neumann was offered a visiting lectureship on quantum theory at Princeton University and by 1931 he was appointed full-time professor. In 1933 he was asked to be one of the original six Professors of Mathematics at the newly founded Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton. He retained this position for the rest of his life.

Von Neumann, John Hungarian-born US scientist and mathematician, a pioneer of computer design. He invented his 'rings of operators' (called Von Neumann algebras) in the late 1930s, and also contributed to set theory, game theory, quantum mechanics, cybernetics (with his theory of self-reproducing automata, called Von Neumann machines), and the development of the atomic and hydrogen bombs. He designed and supervised the construction of the first computer able to use a flexible stored program (named MANIAC-1) at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton 1940-1952. This work laid the foundations for the design of all subsequent programmable computers. Von Neumann was born in Budapest and studied in Germany and Switzerland. In 1930 he emigrated to the USA, where he became professor at Princeton 1931, and from 1933 he was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study there. He also held a number of advisory posts with the US government 1940-54. Von Neumann's book The Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics 1932 defended mathematically the uncertainty principle of German physicist Werner Heisenberg. In 1944, Von Neumann showed that matrix mechanics and wave mechanics were equivalent.

It's free! Save it. Introduction John von Neumann: The Brilliant Young Mathematician Continue article Advertisement Von Neumann proved to be a brilliant young mathematician. Between 1922 and 1927, he produced eighteen major mathematical articles. Much of his early research can best be described as a response to Hilbert's mathematical program. (14) Sometimes called the "formalist" school of mathematics, (15) this approach was concerned with both the foundations of mathematics and axiomatization of mathematical physics. The attempt to establish various areas of mathematics on a secure axiomatic basis stood at the core of Hilbert's program, and von Neumann's projects were included in it. (16) Both men were interested in demonstrating how mathematics could become a widely applicable tool, even in fields that were, until then, not easy to formalize mathematically. (17) In explaining von Neumann's contributions to economics in this manner, his work reflects a belief in the relevant role mathematics could play in science and society rather than a genuine interest in economic issues.

John von Neumann Perhaps the greatest mathematician of his time, John von Neumann (1903-1957) had a photographic memory and a superhuman ability to perform mental calculations. Von Neumann's security clearance allowed him access to ENIAC and EDVAC, the first large-scale digital computers developed in the United States. You can find a biography of von Neumann at The History of Computing , hosted by Virginia Tech and partially sponsored by a National Science Foundation grant. His 1945 paper, "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC" is reprinted in Nancy Stern's book From ENIAC to UNIVAC: An Appraisal of the Eckert Mauchly Computers (Digital Press, 1981).

The moon does have a far side which is impossible to see from the earth, but it doesn't mean that it's always dark. Each side of the moon is dark for no longer than 15 days at a time. Q. Where does sound come from? A. The air is always filled with sound waves. All things give off vibrations, but some have a low frequency which most cannot hear. The reason: it may take 3 minutes to make a single vibration. They may be caused by earthquakes and storms. Von Neumann, John: 1903-1957

80. The Von Neumann Architecture Of Computer Systems The name applied to it comes from john von neumann, who as author of two In Taub, AH, editor, john von neumann Collected Works, The Macmillan Co., http://www.csupomona.edu/~hnriley/www/VonN.html

The von Neumann Architecture of Computer Systems H. Norton Riley Computer Science Department California State Polytechnic University Pomona, California September, 1987 Any discussion of computer architectures, of how computers and computer systems are organized, designed, and implemented, inevitably makes reference to the "von Neumann architecture" as a basis for comparison. And of course this is so, since virtually every electronic computer ever built has been rooted in this architecture. The name applied to it comes from John von Neumann, who as author of two papers in 1945 [Goldstine and von Neumann 1963, von Neumann 1981] and coauthor of a third paper in 1946 [Burks, et al. 1963] was the first to spell out the requirements for a general purpose electronic computer. The 1946 paper, written with Arthur W. Burks and Hermann H. Goldstine, was titled "Preliminary Discussion of the Logical Design of an Electronic Computing Instrument," and the ideas in it were to have a profound impact on the subsequent development of such machines. Von Neumann's design led eventually to the construction of the EDVAC computer in 1952. However, the first computer of this type to be actually constructed and operated was the Manchester Mark I, designed and built at Manchester University in England [Siewiorek, et al. 1982]. It ran its first program in 1948, executing it out of its 96 word memory. It executed an instruction in 1.2 milliseconds, which must have seemed phenomenal at the time. Using today's popular "MIPS" terminology (millions of instructions per second), it would be rated at .00083 MIPS. By contrast, some current supercomputers are rated at in excess of 1000 MIPS. And yet, these computers, such as the Cray systems and the Control Data Cyber 200 models, are still tied to the von Neumann architecture to a large extent.
