It was designed and built at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and is notable for being one of the first stored-program computers. Developed under the leadership of British computer scientist Alan Turing, it was primarily intended for scientific and engineering calculations. Pilot ACE was a prototype machine that influenced subsequent computer designs.
