However he grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana where he attended the Arsenal Technical High School. After high school he studied at the University of Wisconsin where he received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. During college Aiken worked for the Madison Gas Company; after graduation he was promoted to chief engineer there. In 1935 Aiken decided to return to school. In 1939 he received a Ph.D. from Harvard University. It was while working on his doctoral thesis in physics that Aiken began to think about constructing a machine to help with the more tedious of calculations. Aiken began to talk about his idea and to do some research into what could be done. With some help from colleagues at the university, Aiken succeeded in convincing IBM to fund his project. The idea was to build an electromachanic machine that could perform mathematical operations quickly and efficiently and allow a person to spend more time thinking instead of laboring over tedious calculations. IBM was to build the machine with Aiken acting as head of the construction team and donate it to Harvard with the requirement that IBM would get the credit for building it. The constructing team was to use machine components that IBM already had in existence.

A constructing team at Harvard was to use machine components that IBM already had in existence. Meanwhile, in 1942, the Navy had asked Aiken for a system for their Naval Proving Ground. That's when he began work on the Harvard Mark II. This system, which employed an electrical memory, was finished in 1947. One important advance in the second system was the concept of 'constants' - fixed values which are referenced by the program the machine is running. This was a new concept in programming at the time, but it is taken for granted in today's programming languages.

Aiken Howard Hathaway plante bereits Anfang der 30er Jahre an Großrechnern und baute im Auftrag von IBM zwischen 1939 und 1944 den elektromechanischen Computer Mark I, den man nach Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts brachte um ihn für ballistische Berechnungen einzusetzen. Im Jahre 1947 erschien der vollkommen elektrisch arbeitende Mark II, daraufhin der Mark III und Mark IV. Er entwickelte zudem die nach ihm benannte Kodierung, den sogenannten Aiken-Code, ein Verfahren zur binären Kodierung von Dezimalzahlen. © 2003-2004 Alle Texte, Grafiken sowie das Design sind Urheberrechtlich geschützt und dürfen nicht ohne Zustimmung von Bullhost Internet Service weiter verwendet werden.

Der ASCC funktionierte elektromechanisch und benötigte für eine Addition sechs Sekunden und für eine Division zwölf Sekunden. Gesteuert wurde er durch Lochbänder. Die Dateneingabe und -ausgabe erfolgte über Lochkarten. 1943: der 35 Tonnen schwere Computer nahm seine Arbeit auf. Eine Hauptaufgabe waren ballistische Berechnungen für die U.S. Marine. 1947: stellte einen Computer, der vollständig elektronisch funktionierte, fertig. 1900: Naissance à Hoboken (USA); nationalité : USA 1935: Début de la conception d' un calculateur 1939: En quatre années, il développe avec les ingénieurs de l'IBM l'ordinateur ASCC (Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator). L' ASCC fonctionnait électromecaniquement et devait avoir six secondes pour une addition et douze secondes pour une division. Il était commandé par des cartes perforées.
