EDVAC, which stands for Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer, is one of the earliest digital computers. It was designed in the 1940s and became operational in the early 1950s. EDVAC was notable for being one of the first computers to implement the stored-program architecture, where program instructions and data are stored in the same memory. This architecture was a significant advancement beyond earlier computers, which were typically hardwired to perform specific tasks.
