		The AVIDAC or Argonne Version of the Institute's Digital Automatic Computer, an early computer built by Argonne National Laboratory, was based on the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) architecture developed by John von Neumann.
		As with all computers of its era, it was a one of a kind machine that could not exchange programs with other computers (even other IAS machines).

		AVIDAC (Argonne's Version of the Institute's Digital Automatic Computer) was J.C. Chu's version of Von Neumann's stored program computer.
		AVIDAC could solve problems in 20 minutes that might take 2 mathematicians three years with an electronic adding machine.
		AVIDAC was used to facilitate the solution of mathematical problems of Lab scientists engaged in reactor engineering and theoretical physics research work.

		It was named AVIDAC and was used in reactor engineering and theoretical physics research.
		AVIDAC was followed, a few months later, by ORACLE, a larger computer facility.
		Increasingly, almost exponentially, the need for better and quicker handling of scientific data grew as the Laboratory expanded.

	[No title]
		I have a close relationship with one of the programming pioneers at Argonne National Laboratories.
		Cynthia Chamot (yes, this is my Mother, and I'm quite proud of her) was one of the early programmers hired by Argonne to program the third, all electronic, digital computer ever built, AVIDAC.
		AVIDAC (Argonne's Version of the Institute's Digital Automatic Computer) was constructed around 1950, only 5 years after ENIAC.

	Johnniac
		The JOHNNIAC was one of an illustrious group of computers built in the early 1950's, all inspired by the IAS computer designed by John von Neumann at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
		Some of these other machines were the MANIAC (Los Alamos) and the ILLIAC (Univ. of Illinois), as well as WEIZAC, AVIDAC, and ORDVAC.
		JOHNNIAC was built at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, and named after John von Neumann himself.

		Many of the machines with long word length, like IAS, use the two-instructions-per-word format.
		Subsequent machines built with only minor variations include ORDVAC; ILLIAC I at the University of Illinois with a 40-bit electrostatic memory and vacuum-tube logic; AVIDAC, ORACLE, MANIAC I, WEIZAC, SILLIAC, BESK, DASK, CSIRAC, and JOHNNIAC at the RAND Corporation with a 40-bit core memory and transistor logic [Gruenberger, 1968].
		Other similar computers include the IBM 701 with a 36-bit word, electrostatic memory and vacuum-tube logic; and the CDC 1604, with a 48-bit word, core memory, and transistor logic (possibly influenced by MANIAC II).

	Electronic Computers Within The Ordnance Corps, Appendix III -- ORDVAC
		The ORDVAC belongs to the group of computers whose basic logic was developed by the Institute for Advanced Study and utilized in the IAS computer.
		This IAS family of computers is made up of such machines as the ILLIAC, ORACLE, AVIDAC, MANIAC, JOHNNIAC, MISTIC, and CYCLONE.
		The ORDVAC is a direct-coupled machine using three-dimensional construction.

	REPORT of GROUP 1
		There were several otehr machines built along this line, almost all a result of a Summer course given by Eckert and Mauchley at the end of the war, about their work with ENIAC and the EDVAC design.
		These included the ILLIAC (not to be confused with the ILLIAC IV parallel processor), MANIAC, WEIZAC, AVIDAC, ORACLE,
		The Whirlwind, built at MIT, is notable mostly for the development of magnetic core memory, which would eventually replace CRT and delay line storage during the 1960's.
