Colossus was a very large computer that used valves - a far cry from a modern desktop computer. It was used to help break the German's Enigma Code.
enigma was the German code making machine not code breaking ultra was the code breaking machine
It was used for code breaking. I've seen it at a museum, it's the size of a small house!
Bletchley Park was an Intelligence and code breaking centre during WW2.Bletchley Park was an Intelligence and code breaking centre during WW2.
Code breaking was a significant part of World War II because it helped the Allies win over the Axis.
Colossus was a code breaking computer designed by Tommy Flowers.
the main objective of the colossus was to break the enigma code
COLOSSUS
The computer known as Colossus was designed by Tommy Flowers, and built by a branch of the British Government- the Post Office Research Station. This was used during WW 2 as a code breaking computer.
Tommy Flowers of the British 'General Post Office' did the first proof of concept prototype. At that time the GPO had the most experience of switching circuits.
Colossus! The Colossus was used during WWII to break German codes. Tony Sale has actually rebuilt a Colossus machine which is operational and on display for the public at Bletchley Park in England.
Bletchley Park, the site of world War II British code breaking and Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic digital computer, is within the town boundaries of Milton Keynes.
Colossus was a very large computer that used valves - a far cry from a modern desktop computer. It was used to help break the German's Enigma Code.
Tommy Flowers developed Colossus in 1943. This computer was intended to aid British code breakers in World War II with analysis of the Lorenz cipher.
The Expert answer is wrong, Enigma messages were cracked using electromechanical Bombe machines.The computer Colossus cracked the German "Fish" codesthat the German High Command used.
The actual computers called Colossus were World War II code-breaking computers built in 1943 and 1944 in Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, England. These were the first true programmable computers, and about a dozen were built.The prototype, Colossus Mark I, was shown working in December 1943 and was operational at Bletchley Park by February 1944. An improved Colossus Mark II was first installed in June 1944, and ten more had been constructed by the end of the war. Unfortunately, the secret nature of these computers meant that their innovations were not available for commercial computer development for many years.*The other computer called Colossus is a fictional artificial intelligence from a 1965 novel (Colossus) by Dennis Feltham Jones, which was the basis for the film Colossus, the Forbin Project in 1970
The Colossus was created to decode encrypted messages from Germany during World War Two using the infamous "Enigma" machine. For full rundown see Simon Singh's "The Code Book".
