In 1946 shortly after the development of the first electronic computer John Von Neumann was asked to consult the Office of Naval Research on whether enough applications could be found for high-speed computing devices to justify further funding. Von Neumann concluded: It is, furthermore, quite clear that there are many problems where the length or the complexity of the problem is not sufficient to justify electronic speeds. It is important, however, to point out that there are plenty of problems which justify this speed, and, furthermore, the chances are that if these speeds become available, we will come to discover more and more how numerous these problems are.(1) |
