   Extractions: Howard A. Aiken Howard H. Aiken studierte an der Universität von Wisconsin in Madison. 1939 begann er seine Arbeit an der Harvard-Universität. Hier entwickelte Aiken von 1939 bis 1944 mit Grace Hopper, die den Computer programmierte, und zwei weiteren Mitarbeitern den Relaisrechner "Mark I", der von der US Navy für ballistische Berechnungen benutzt wurde. An der Finanzierung des Projektes beteiligte sich auch die Firma IBM. Die "Mark I" in der Gesamtansicht (von vorne) Die "Mark I" war - im Gegensatz zur Z3 - ein Riese. Die Frontfläche des Mark I war etwa 15 Meter lang und 2,5 Meter hoch. Sie bestand aus rund 70.000 Einzelteilen. 3000 Kugellager verbargen sich hinter der riesigen Frontseite. 80 km Leitungsdraht wurden benötigt, um die elektrischen Teile miteinander zu verbinden. Wenn sie ein- oder ausgeschaltet wurde, hörte es sich an, als ginge ein Hagelschauer nieder. Aiken verwendete vorwiegend Standardbauteile, wie z. Bsp. Relais, Zahnräder, elektrische Kupplungen usw. Die Mark I gilt als der letzte Schritt auf dem Weg zum "echten" - digitalen - Computer. Das Programm, das Mark I steuerte, war dual codiert und auf einem 24spurigen Lochstreifen gespeichert. Acht Spuren speicherten Anweisungen für Rechenoperationen, die restlichen Spuren dienten zur Adressierung in den Speicherelementen. Mark I hatte 60 Festwertspeicher. Sie besaß aber keinen Schreib- und Lesespeicher, also noch keinen "Arbeitsspeicher", wie wir ihn heute kennen.

   Extractions: Howard Aiken studied at the University of Wisconsin, Madison obtaining a doctorate from Harvard in 1939. While he was a graduate student and an instructor in the Department of Physics at Harvard Aiken began to make plans to build a large computer. These plans were made for a very specific purpose, for Aiken's research had led to a system of differential equations which had no exact solution and which could only be solved using numerical techniques. However, the amount of hand calculation involved would have been almost prohibitive, so Aiken's idea was to use an adaptation of the punched card machines which had been developed by Hollerith Aiken wrote a report on how he envisaged the machine, and in particular how such a machine designed to be used in scientific research would differ from a punched card machine. He listed four main points [2]:- ... whereas accounting machines handle only positive numbers, scientific machines must be able to handle negative ones as well; that scientific machines must be able to handle such functions as logarithms, sines, cosines and a whole lot of other functions; the computer would be most useful for scientists if, once it was set in motion, it would work through the problem frequently for numerous numerical values without intervention until the calculation was finished; and that the machine should compute lines instead of columns, which is more in keeping with the sequence of mathematical events.

   Extractions: Aiken, Howard Hathaway March 9, 1900 in Hoboken, New Jersey - March 14,1973 in St Louis, Missouri Contents Claim to Fame Research/Career Highlights Trivia Bibliography Claim to Fame The inventor of the world's largest digital calculator was Howard Aiken, whose automatic sequence-controlled calculator carried out any selected sequence of the five fundamental arithmetical operations (addition, subtracti on, multiplication, division, and reference to previously computed results) without further human direction. A professor of applied mathematics at Harvard University , Aiken was also head of its computation laboratory. Back to top Research/Career Highlights Howard Hathaway Aiken, the son of Daniel and Margaret Emily Aiken, was born at the turn of the century, on March 8, 1900, in Hoboken, New Jersey . However, he was reared in Indianapolis, Indiana , where he attended the Arsenal Technical High School. After his graduation in 1919, Aiken attended the University of Wisconsin , where he majored and did outside work in electrical engineering - in con junction with his studies, he held a job as operating engineer at the Madison (Wisconsin) Gas and Electric Company from 1919 to 1923. Aiken received his B.S. in electrical engineering from the university in 1923. The next position the young engineer held was with the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company , which predated his postgraduate studies at Harvard . It was at this university that he received his M.A. (1937) and Ph.D. (19379) degrees in physics. Aiken remained at

   Extractions: A father of the modern-day computer On March 8, 1900, Howard Aiken was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, although he was raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. After the eighth grade, he began work as a switchboard operator while attending Arsenal Technical High School during the day. Upon completion of high school in 1918, he attended University of Wisconsin and received his bachelor of science degree in 1923. He became a professor at the University of Miami, but in 1935, decided to obtain his Ph.D. He received his masters in physics from Harvard in 1937. However, it was Aiken's graduate work in 1936, improving the vacuum tube design (which required long hours of tedious mathematical calculations) that sparked his discovery. Aiken's need to complete the complex, non-linear mathematical problems lead him back in time to Charles Babbage and his Analytical Engine. Aiken saw part of Babbage's calculating machine in the attic of a physics lab at Harvard and was amazed. He would use Babbage's 100-year-old idea to serve as the foundation of Aiken's Mark I. Aiken's idea was to use "electromagnetic components controlled by coded sequences of instructions, and one that would operate automatically after a particular process had been developed". What he envisioned was a machine that would use electro-mechanical power to solve differential equations. Aiken was heavily criticized for using electro-mechanical power especially since he was doing frontier work with vacuum tubes, but it was inexpensive, and that was one of his needs at the time. To also save on cost and time, he wanted to build a machine that used parts that had already been invented. Supported by IBM, the results were astounding.

    Extractions: SEARCH THE GAZETTE By Cassie Ferguson Gazette Staff The desire for answers to the questions raised by his doctoral thesis in physics led Howard Aiken to the conclusion that he would have to build a calculating machine unlike anything ever seen before at Harvard a computer. Aiken needed numbers for his theory of space-charge conduction in vacuum tubes, but the problems were beyond the capability of desktop calculators of the day. Frustrated by his dilemma, in 1937 he wrote a proposal for a giant calculating machine, one that could represent negative and positive numbers, do standard arithmetic, and carry out more than one operation in a sequence. "The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself," he wrote, although he would later joke that the computer was "only a lazy man's idea." A year earlier, in 1936, Aiken had proposed his idea to the Physics Department, which did not see the same need for a computing machine and was reluctant to give up space for one in its building. He was told by the chairman, Frederick Saunders, that a lab technician, Carmelo Lanza, had told him about a similar contraption already stored up in the Science Center attic.
