- total memory of ENIAC was 20 words all in accumulators; total memory of UNIVAC was 1000 words main memory, 120 words of I/O buffer, and a 10 word "Y" register all in Mercury delay lines.
- words on ENIAC were 10 decimal digits long; words on UNIVAC were 12 alphanumeric characters long.
- digits on ENIAC were stored in 10 flip-flop ring counters; digits on UNIVAC were stored in 6 flip-flop characters.
- arithmetic on ENIAC was done by counting pulses sent from one accumulator to another; arithmetic on UNIVAC was done by logic circuits in the single accumulator.
- programming ENIAC was done by manually interconnecting the various accumulators and special purpose units with cables and individual wires to effectively create a new machine for each problem; programming UNIVAC was done by loading its memory from a magnetic tape containing the previously coded program, these tapes were written by programmers using UNIVAC to help them as is still done with modern computers today.
- I/O on ENIAC was all done with punchcards; I/O on UNIVAC was all done with magnetic tape.
- etc.

What institutions are using univac and eniac computers?
none. none of these machines still operate. the last UNIVAC I was shut down in 1970. the ENIAC was shut down in late 1950s.

What was the Univac?
The UNIVAC was UNIVersal Automatic Computer, (not ENIAC like another person said) and was used for calculating the results of the 1952 election, saying that Eisenhower would win (which he did!). Invented by J. Presper Eckert & John Mauchly, also the inventors of ENIAC.
What was the name of the computer in the movie Desk Set?
EMERAC (an allusion to the early computers UNIVAC and ENIAC)
What did the development of the ENIAC and UNIVAC I lead to?
The development of the ENIAC and UNIVAC I led to significant advancements in computing technology, laying the foundation for modern computers. They helped pioneer the use of electronic components for processing information, making computation faster and more efficient. This progress ultimately set the stage for the widespread adoption of computer technology in various industries.

What is different of eniac and uniac?
ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was one of the earliest general-purpose electronic computers, developed in the 1940s, and it used vacuum tubes for computation. UNIAC (Universal Automatic Computer), often referred to as UNIVAC, was the first commercially available computer, introduced in the early 1950s, and it utilized transistors instead of vacuum tubes, making it more reliable and efficient. Essentially, ENIAC was a pioneering machine in the realm of computing, while UNIVAC marked the transition to practical commercial computing.
What is the difference between eniac and edvac?
The edvac came after the eniac (its predecessor). The main difference was that with the eniac if you wanted to complete a certain process different vacuum tubes had to be tampered with, whereas with the edvac john von neumann and others realised that computers could be programmed which meant you didnt have to tamper with the hardware each time you wanted to complete a different a task.
