IAS Machine Derivatives

Plans for the IAS machine were widely distributed to any schools, businesses, or companies interested in computing machines, resulting in the construction of several derivative computers referred to as "IAS machines," although they were not software compatible in the modern sense.

Some of these "IAS machines" were:

  • AVIDAC (Argonne National Laboratory)
  • BESK (Stockholm)
  • BESM (Moscow)
  • CYCLONE (Iowa State University)
  • DASK (Regnecentralen, Copenhagen 1958)
  • GEORGE (Argonne National Laboratory)
  • ILLIAC I (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
  • JOHNNIAC (RAND)
  • MANIAC I (Los Alamos National Laboratory)
  • MISTIC (Michigan State University)
  • MUSASINO-1 (Musashino, Tokyo, Japan)
  • ORACLE (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
  • ORDVAC (Aberdeen Proving Ground)

Famous quotes containing the word machine:

    There is no question but that if Jesus Christ, or a great prophet from another religion, were to come back today, he would find it virtually impossible to convince anyone of his credentials ... despite the fact that the vast evangelical machine on American television is predicated on His imminent return among us sinners.
    Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)
