The IBM 601 is an early electronic computer developed by IBM in 1948. It was designed primarily for scientific and engineering calculations and was notable for being one of the first computers to use a program-controlled architecture, which allowed it to execute different instructions based on a program rather than being hardwired for specific tasks. The IBM 601 was based on vacuum tube technology and represented a significant step forward in terms of speed and capability compared to earlier mechanical calculators.
