Life was not always so. The earliest large- scale electronic digital computers, the. British Colossus (1. American ENIAC (1. To set up these. computers for a fresh task, it was necessary to modify some of the. The. basic principle of the modern computer—the idea of controlling. Alan Turing. Turing's abstract 'universal computing machine' of 1. Turing machine, consists of a limitless. By inserting different programs into the memory, the machine is made. It was a fabulous idea—a. Turing showed that his universal machine is able to accomplish any task that can be carried out by means of a rote method (hence the. Nowadays, when so many people possess. Turing machine, Turing's idea. But in 1. 93. 6, when engineers thought in terms of building. Turing's concept was. By the end of 1. 94. Britain and in the United States had embarked. Turing machine in hardware. Turing headed a. group situated at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in. Teddington, London. His technical report 'Proposed Electronic Calculator', dating. Automatic. Computing Engine (ACE), was the first relatively complete. In the United States the Hungarian- American mathematician John von. Neumann shared Turing's dream of building a universal stored- program.

Von Neumann had learned of the universal Turing. Turing came to know each other. Princeton University. Like. Turing, von Neumann became aware of the potential of high- speed. Von Neumann's 'First. Draft of a Report on the EDVAC', completed in the spring of 1. EDVAC' stood for 'Electronic Discrete Variable Computer'). Harry Huskey, the electronic. EDVAC, said that the information in von Neumann's report was. Turing, in contrast, supplied detailed circuit designs, full. ACE. Part I of 'Alan Turing, Father of the Modern Computer' provides an. Turing's many major contributions to the development of. Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life. Part II tells the story of Turing's ACE. This. is simply one of the best tales in the history of computers. Right. from the start there was a mismatch of visions. Turing saw himself as. Turing's. employers, on the other hand, thought the ACE would be Britain's. Frustration and disappointment dominate. Woolly- minded administrators wasted the brilliant. Turing and his group. There is a happy. Turing had turned his back on the ACE. Much of Part II is in the words of the original. Wartime headquarters of the Government Code and Cypher School. The Bombe. Turing's Bombes turned Bletchley Park into a codebreaking factory. The universal Turing machine. Turing leaves Cambridge for the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, where he continues his pioneering work in. Turing returns to Cambridge. At outbreak of war with Germany in September, Turing takes up residence at the Government Code and Cypher School, Bletchley Park. First Turing Bombe is installed at Bletchley Park. Colossus, the world's first large- scale electronic computer, is installed at Bletchley Park. Von Neumann's 'First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC' is circulated, setting out the design of the EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Arithmetic Computer)Turing joins the National Physical Laboratory. Turing's 'Proposed Electronic Calculator' is circulated, setting out the design of the ACE (Automatic Computing Engine)Turing suggests (in 'Proposed Electronic Calculator') that computers will 'play very good chess'ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) is the second large- scale electronic computer to operate.

Darwin, Director of the National Physical Laboratory, halts work on ACE Test Assembly, leaving the field to Manchester. Manchester wins the race: the world's first stored- program electronic computer comes to life on June 2. Newman's Computing Machine Laboratory. Turing, now at Manchester as Deputy Director of the Computing Machine Laboratory, writes 'Intelligent Machinery', the first manifesto of Artificial Intelligence. Turing's and Champernowne's 'Turochamp' plays its first game of chess. ENIAC is set up to run in (read- only) stored- program mode. Four more electronic stored- program computers become operational: EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator) at the University of Cambridge, followed by BINAC (Binary Automatic Computer) in the U. S., the CSIR Mark I (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Mark I Computer) in Australia, and Whirlwind I in the U. S. Turing's paper 'Checking a Large Routine' inaugurates the area now known as 'program verification'1. Pilot Model ACE is operational, preceded in the U. S. The first off the production line is installed at Manchester University. Turing begins using the Ferranti Mark I to study biological growth. UNIVAC is the first commercially- available electronic stored- program computer in the U.

EDVAC is operational in the USStrachey's draughts (checkers) program plays its first game on the Manchester computer. Turing publishes his classic paper on computer chess.

The scanner and tape A Turing machine has a small repertoire of basic operations: move. Movement is always by one square at a time.

Copeland) gives a full account of how Turing machines work, and also of the Bletchley Park codebreaking operation and Turing's work on Enigma, including Turing's own description of the Bombe. The UTM (universal Turing machine) is universal in the sense that it. Before the advent of the electronic computer, many thousands. The universal machine has a single, fixed. Operating in accordance with this one fixed table, the. UTM can read and execute coded instructions inscribed on its tape. An instruction table for carrying out a desired task is placed on the. UTM's tape in a suitably encoded form, the first line of the table. Different programs can be inscribed on the tape, enabling the. UTM to carry out any task for which a Turing- machine instruction.

The Lorenz Schl. This machine, which eventually came to be known as 'Old Robinson', replaced the original 'Heath Robinson' (the two were similar in appearance). Turing completed the logical design of the famous Bombe—built. German Enigma messages—in the last months of 1. His. designs were handed over to Harold 'Doc' Keen at the British Tabulating Machine.

The Bombe was a 'computing machine'—a term for any machine able. Enigma machine, at superhuman speed, in order. German message had been encrypted. The Bombe was based on the electromagnetic relay, although some later. Relays are small switches consisting of a moving metal rod. Electronic valves (called 'vacuum tubes'. U. S.) operate very many times faster than relays, since the. During the attack on Enigma, Bletchley Park approached the Post. Office Research Station at Dollis Hill in London to build a. Bombe.
