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.

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).
