Wrens Operating Colossus, Bletchely Park, 1943

Editorial use only . Colossus was a set of computers developed by British codebreakers in the years 1943-1945 to help in the cryptanalysis of the Lorenz cipher used by the German Army. Colossus used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to perform Boolean and counting operations. Colossus is thus regarded as the world's first programmable, electronic, digital computer, although it was programmed by switches and plugs and not by a stored program. Colossus was designed by research telephone engineer Tommy Flowers. Alan Turing's use of probability in cryptanalysis contributed to its design. The Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS, popularly and officially known as the Wrens) was the women's branch of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy. About 8,000 women worked in Bletchley Park, the central site for British cryptanalysts during World War II. Women constituted roughly 75% of the workforce there.

Título:
Wrens Operating Colossus, Bletchely Park, 1943
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Solo para uso editorial . Colossus fue un conjunto de computadoras desarrolladas por descifradores de códigos británicos en los años 1943-1945 para ayudar en el criptoanálisis del cifrado de Lorenz utilizado por el ejército alemán. Colossus utilizó válvulas termoiónicas (tubos de vacío) para realizar operaciones booleanas y de conteo. Por lo tanto, Colossus se considera la primera computadora digital, electrónica y programable del mundo, aunque fue programada mediante interruptores y enchufes y no mediante un programa almacenado. Colossus fue diseñado por el ingeniero telefónico de investigación Tommy Flowers. El uso de la probabilidad por parte de Alan Turing en criptoanálisis contribuyó a su diseño. El Servicio Naval Real de Mujeres (WRNS, conocido popular y oficialmente como Wrens) era la rama femenina de la Royal Navy del Reino Unido. Alrededor de 8.000 mujeres trabajaron en Bletchley Park, el sitio central de los criptoanalistas británicos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Las mujeres constituían aproximadamente el 75% de la fuerza laboral allí.
