Alan Turing's Other Universal Machine.

The article discusses the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE), a stored program computer proposed by the computer scientist Alan Turing in 1946, examining its design and influence. The author examines the ACE's use of mercury delay-line memory, optimum programming, and multiple registers. The article d...

      ab: The article discusses the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE), a stored program computer proposed by the computer scientist Alan Turing in 1946, examining its design and influence. The author examines the ACE's use of mercury delay-line memory, optimum programming, and multiple registers. The article discusses the importance of ACE derivatives such as the English Electric Company's DEUCE and the Bendix Aviation Corporation's Bendix G-15 and argues that ACE influenced computer design.
