"Herman Goldstine and the IAS Machine: Unveiling the Modern Computer" delves into the foundational contributions of Herman Goldstine and John von Neumann to the development of the IAS Machine, an early stored program computer. The narrative unfolds from the 1940s, highlighting Goldstine's interactions with von Neumann and other luminaries from the Manhattan Project, and how these connections facilitated the advent of modern computing. By convincing the U.S. Army to fund the ENIAC and later collaborating on the IAS Machine at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Goldstine played a pivotal role. The piece also touches upon the distribution and significance of von Neumann's "First Draft" paper, the engineering challenges faced during the IAS Machine's construction, and its influence on subsequent computer designs, including IBM's first mainframe. Lastly, it reflects on Goldstine's legacy and his contributions towards making von Neumann's revolutionary ideas a reality.
