ILLIAC II was one of the early transistor-based computers, developed in the early 1960s at the University of Illinois. It was part of the ILLIAC series, which were among the first computers designed for scientific computing and advanced research. ILLIAC II was notable for its use of a high-level programming language, which made it more accessible for researchers compared to earlier machines that relied heavily on machine code or assembly language.
