[[ENIAC]] inventors [[John Mauchly]] and [[J. Presper Eckert]] proposed the [[EDVAC]]'s construction in August 1944, and design work for the EDVAC commenced at the [[University of Pennsylvania]]'s [[Moore School of Electrical Engineering]], before the [[ENIAC]] was fully operational.  The design implemented a number of important architectural and logical improvements conceived during the ENIAC's construction, and a high-speed [[Delay-line memory|serial-access memory]].<ref name="Wilkes" /> However, Eckert and Mauchly left the project and its construction floundered.

It was finally delivered to the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]]'s [[Ballistics Research Laboratory]] at the [[Aberdeen Proving Ground]] in August 1949, but due to a number of problems, the computer only began operation in 1951, and then only on a limited basis.
