ENIAC var ein av verdas første programmerbare elektroniskedatamaskinar. Namnet stod forElectronic Numerical Integrator and Computer.[1][2] Han vart utvikla forhæren i USA, og kom i drift i1945,[3][4] eit par år etter den britiske maskinenColossus. Det opphavlege målet var å rekna utballistiske tabellar for skyting med artilleri,[5] men den fyrste oppgåva var å finna kor mogleg det var å lagatermonukleære våpen.[6][7]Maskinen var i kontinuerleg drift fram til1955.[2]
