The beginning of IT in Romania.
|
|
|
|
Professor V. Baltac said in the Conference "*Computers and Computer Networks in Romania between 1953-2001*", from The Romanian Academy, at 22 nov. 2001 that the years 1950 had marqued a Romanian priority in Romanian computing techniques.\
|
|
Three computing techniques schools were then created:\
|
|
\- Bucharest - **IFA** (Institutul de Fizica Atomica - The Athomical Physics Institute),\
|
|
\- Timisoara - **MECIPT** (Masina Electronica de Calculat a Institutului Politehnic Timisoara - Electronical Computing Machine of the Polytechnical Institute of Timisoara),\
|
|
\- Cluj - **DACICC** (Dispozitiv Automat de Calcul al Institutului de Calcul din Cluj - Automated Computing Dispositive of the Computing Institute of Cluj).
|
|
|
|
MECIPT was a typical first generation computer.\
|
|
It contained:\
|
|
\- Over 2000 electronic tubes,\
|
|
\- Tens of thousands passive components,\
|
|
\- Words of 30 bits,\
|
|
\- As external memory - drum equivalent of 3 kb,\
|
|
\- Data was input into computer by punched paper tape,\
|
|
\- As a printer was an electrical typing machine.\
|
|
Its speed was about 50 operations/second and it was programmed in machine code.
|
|
|
|
MECIPT was one of the first romanian computers... It worked for the first time... I guess around 1961-1962.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to **Stefan Deli** for all this information.
