The principles of the ACE design were used in the [[Bendix Corporation]]'s [[Bendix G-15|G-15]] computer.<ref name=cj-1977>{{Citation | last1 = Carpenter | first1 = B.

He later contributed to the hardware designs for the EDVAC. The first G-15 ran in 1954{{Citation needed|date=November 2017}} and, as a relatively small single-user machine, some consider it to be the first [[personal computer]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Harry Huskey - Obituary | newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle| date=16 April 2017 | url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?n=Harry-Huskey&pid=185082146 | access-date=17 April 2018 }}</ref>
