Abstract

We describe the computer defined in von Neumann's unpublished paper "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC," Moore School of Electrical Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, June 30, 1945. We discuss motivation for the architecture and design, and contrast the machine with the EDVAC that was actually constructed.
