John Vincent Atanasoff: Inventor of the Digital Computer October 3, 2006 History of Computer Science (2R930) Department of Mathematics & Computer Science Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Bas Kloet 0461462 [email protected] Paul van Tilburg 0459098 [email protected] Abstract This essay is about John Vincent Atanasoff’s greatest invention, the Atana- soff Berry Computer or ABC. We look into the design and construction of this computer, and also determine the effect the ABC has had on the world. While discussing this machine we cannot avoid the dispute and trial surrounding the ENIAC patents. We will try to put the ENIAC in the right context with respect to the ABC.

Automatic Generation of Invariants in Processor Verification
Automatic Generation of Invariants in Processor Veri®cation Jeffrey X. Su, David L. Dill, and Clark W. Barrett Computer Science Department Stanford University Abstract. A central task in formal veri®cation is the de®nition of invariants, which characterize the reachable states of the system. When a system is ®nite- state, invariants can be discovered automatically. Our experience in verifying microprocessors using symbolic logic is that ®nding adequate invariants is extremely time-consuming. We present three techniquesfor automating the discovery of some of these invariants. All of them are essentially syntactic transformations on a logical formula derived from the state transition function. The goal is to eliminate quanti®ers and extract small clauses implied by the larger formula. We have implemented the method and exercised it on a description of the FLASH ProtocolProcessor(PP), a microprocessordesignedat Stanford for handling com- munications in a multiprocessor. We had previously veri®ed the PP by manually deriving invariants. Although the method is simple, it discovered 6 out of 7 of the invariants needed for veri®cation of the CPU of the processor design, and 28 out of 72 invariants neededfor veri®cation of the memory system of the processor. We believe that, in the future, the discovery of invariants can be largely automated by a combination of different methods, including this one. 1 Introduction As microprocessors become more complex, an increasingly large fraction of the design time is spent on validation. Validation techniques which rely entirely on simulation are limited because of the many possible cases which must be accounted for. Sometimes, signi®cant bugs are found after a processor is commercially released, which is both embarrassing and costly.

The Z1: Architecture and Algorithms of Konrad Zuse's First Computer
The Z1: Architecture and Algorithms of Konrad Zuse’s First Computer Raul Rojas Freie Universität Berlin June 2014 Abstract This paper provides the first comprehensive description of the Z1, the mechanical computer built by the German inventor Konrad Zuse in Berlin from 1936 to 1938. The paper describes the main structural elements of the machine, the high-level architecture, and the dataflow between components. The computer could perform the four basic arithmetic operations using floating-point numbers. Instructions were read from punched tape. A program consisted of a sequence of arithmetical operations, intermixed with memory store and load instructions, interrupted possibly by input and output operations. Numbers were stored in a mechanical memory. The machine did not include conditional branching in the instruction set. While the architecture of the Z1 is similar to the relay computer Zuse finished in 1941 (the Z3) there are some significant differences. The Z1 implements operations as sequences of microinstructions, as in the Z3, but does not use rotary switches as micro- steppers. The Z1 uses a digital incrementer and a set of conditions which are translated into microinstructions for the exponent and mantissa units, as well as for the memory blocks. Microinstructions select one out of 12 layers in a machine with a 3D mechanical structure of binary mechanical elements. The exception circuits for mantissa zero, necessary for normalized floating-point, were lacking; they were first implemented in the Z3. The information for this article was extracted from careful study of the blueprints drawn by Zuse for the reconstruction of the Z1 for the German Technology Museum in Berlin, from some letters, and from sketches in notebooks.
