None. The Harvard Mark 1 ASCC (IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator) was an electromechanical computer built for Harvard by IBM's Endicott NY facility in 1944. It was constructed from 765,000 components which included switches, relays, motors, rotating shafts, and clutches. It contained no vacuum tubes.

The Harvard Mark III ADEC (Aiken Dahlgren Electronic Calculator) was the first computer to use vacuum tubes. It was built at Harvard in 1949 using 5000 vacuum tubes and 1500 crystal diodes, along with electromechanical components. The Harvard Mark IV, built in 1952, was the first fully electronic design.

What did mark zuckerberg get his degree in?

Mark Zuckerberg's major at Harvard was actually Psychology though he loved programming and ended up taking a lot of computer science courses. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense how he mapped people relationships to computer science with something like Facebook.

What is the name of a 1940 computer?

One example of a computer from the 1940s is the Harvard Mark I, also known as the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC). Developed by Howard Aiken and his team at Harvard University, the Harvard Mark I was one of the earliest electromechanical computers. It was used primarily for complex mathematical calculations and was a significant milestone in the history of computing technology.


Was Mark1 computer was invented after the Apple Newton or before?

The term Mark I Computer is ambiguous as there were many given this name built in different places by different people. However as almost all of these computers were first generation machines (using vacuum tubes) built before 1960, it is probably safe to say the Mark I Computer was before the Apple Newton.


When was Harvard Mark I created?

Harvard Mark I was created in 1944.


Hy did ENIAC give off so much heat?

In 1946two Americans, Presper Eckert, and John Mauchly built the ENIAC electronic computer which used vacuum tubes instead of the mechanical switches of the Mark I. The ENIAC used thousands of vacuum tubes, which took up a lot of space and gave off a great deal of heat just like light bulbs do. The ENIAC led to other vacuum tube type computers like the EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) and the UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer).
