caption_attribution_description: English: IAS machine/computer created at Princeton Institute for Advanced Study in the 1940ies by a team involving John von Neumann.
context_page_description: The IAS machine was the first electronic computer to be built at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. It is sometimes called the von Neumann machine, since the paper describing its design was edited by John von Neumann, a mathematics professor at both Princeton University and IAS. The computer was built from late 1945 until 1951 under his direction.
  The general organization is called von Neumann architecture, even though it was both conceived and implemented by others. The computer is in the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History but is not currently on display.
