The Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) was an early electronic computer designed by British mathematician and computer pioneer Alan Turing in the early 1950s. It was one of the first designs to incorporate concepts such as stored-program architecture, which allowed the computer to store instructions in memory alongside data. Turing's design aimed to create a machine that could perform a wide range of calculations and logical operations.
