[90] Grace M. Hopper Navy Regional Data Automation Center at Naval Air Station, North Island, California. [91]
His work propelled Manchester and Britain into the forefront of the emerging field of computer science. He also worked on the development of Atlas, one of the most powerful supercomputer in 1960s. 1972–1994 Kildall, Gary: Introduced the theory of data-flow analysis in optimizing compilers (global expression optimization, Kildall's method).
Grace Hopper and UNIVAC. Grace Hopper worked as one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I. [12] She later created a 500-page manual for the computer. [13] Hopper is often falsely credited with coining the terms "bug" and "debugging," when she found a moth in the Mark II, causing a malfunction; [14] however, the term was in fact already ...
Grace Hopper continued to contribute to computer science through the 1950s. She brought the idea of using compilers from her time at Harvard to UNIVAC which she joined in 1949. [79] [76] Other women who were hired to program UNIVAC included Adele Mildred Koss, Frances E. Holberton, Jean Bartik, Frances Morello and Lillian Jay. [66]

Richard Milton Bloch, Robert Campbell and Grace Hopper joined the project later as programmers. [6] In 1947, Aiken completed his work on the Harvard Mark II computer. He continued his work on the Mark III and the Harvard Mark IV. The Mark III used some electronic components and the Mark IV was all-electronic.
The A-0 system (Arithmetic Language version 0) was an early [1] compiler related tool developed for electronic computers, written by Grace Murray Hopper [2] in 1951 and 1952 originally for the UNIVAC I. [3] The A-0 functioned more as a loader or linker than the modern notion of a compiler.
