Automatic Computing Engine
British early electronic serial stored-program computer
The Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) was an early British electronic serial stored-program computer design by Alan Turing. Turing completed the ambitious design in late 1945. The ACE was not built, but a smaller version, the Pilot ACE, was constructed at the National Physical Laboratory and became operational in 1950.
From Wikipedia
The Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) was an early British electronic serial stored-program computer design by Alan Turing. Turing completed the ambitious design in late 1945. The ACE was not built, but a smaller version, the Pilot ACE, was constructed at the National Physical Laboratory and became operational in 1950. A larger implementation of the ACE design was the MOSAIC computer, which became operational in 1955. ACE also led to the Bendix G-15 and other computers.
