A a part of
the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine , the first stored-program
computer system.
Early computing machines had fixed programs. Changing its function required the re-wiring and re-structuring on the machine. [31] With the proposal of the stored-program computer system this changed. A stored-program computer includes by design an instruction set and can store in memory a few instructions (a program ) that details the calculation . The theoretical basis for the stored-program computer was lay by Alan Turing in his 1936 paper. In 1945 Turing joined the National Physical Laboratory and began work towards developing an electronic stored-program digital computer. His 1945 report ‘Proposed Electronic Calculator’ was the primary specification for such a device. John von Neumann for the University of Pennsylvania , also circulated his First Draft of any Report on the EDVAC in 1945. [19]
