Caption

AVIDAC boasted remarkable computing power for the time, performing 1,000 multiplications per second. Today’s smart phones can store around 100 million times more data and do in a single second what would have taken AVIDAC two months. Pictured with AVIDAC is pioneer Argonne computer scientist Jean F. Hall.
