The Z3 was a German electromechanical computer designed by Konrad Zuse in 1938, and completed in 1941. It was the world's first working programmable , fully automatic digital computer . [ 3 ] The Z3 was built with 2,600 relays , implementing a 22- bit word length that operated at a clock frequency of about 5–10 Hz . [ 1 ]
Konrad Zuse was born in Berlin on 22 June 1910. [22] In 1912, his family moved to East Prussian Braunsberg (now Braniewo in Poland), where his father was a postal clerk.Zuse attended the Collegium Hosianum in Braunsberg, and in 1923, the family moved to Hoyerswerda, where he passed his Abitur in 1928, qualifying him to enter university.
Zuse was a schoolmate and co-worker of Schreyer, who advised Zuse on relays. Subsequently, Zuse built the Z3 computer, integrating relays as arithmetic logic unit. The Z3 computer was completed in 1941 and used 2,600 relays, with the distinction of being the first computer that was fully operational, controlled entirely automatically, and being ...
The Z3 was build with relais because the the Z1 had instructions that could jam the whole mechanics and only Konrad Zuse did know how to fix this by knocking at the right places. Now that Konrad Zuse is dead, the laser cutted but otherwise original Z1 replica is no longer usable. Schily 17:15, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
In 1941 Konrad Zuse completed the Z3 computer. Zuse was not familiar with Turing's work on computability at the time. In particular, the Z3 lacked dedicated facilities for a conditional jump, thereby precluding it from being Turing complete. However, in 1998, it was shown by Rojas that the Z3 is capable of simulating conditional jumps, and ...
The Z2 was an electromechanical (mechanical and relay-based) digital computer that was completed by Konrad Zuse in 1940. [1] [2] [3] It was an improvement on the Z1 Zuse built in his parents' home, which used the same mechanical memory. In the Z2, he replaced the arithmetic and control logic with 600 electrical relay circuits, weighing over 600 ...

Konrad Zuse developed the S1, the world's first process computer, used by Henschel to measure the surface of wings. 1943 Apr United Kingdom: Max Newman, C. E. Wynn-Williams and their team at the secret Government Code and Cypher School ('Station X'), Bletchley Park, Bletchley, England, completed the 'Heath Robinson'. This was a specialized ...
