5 Early Computation Devices Cont. EDVAC- Electronic discrete variable automatic computer. Made in 1944. This would Improve a number of important architectural stuff during the ENIAC’s construction. This would help the high speed serial access memory. EDVAC- Electronic discrete variable automatic computer. Made in 1944.
