Zuse also proposed, but did not complete, carefully rounded floating – point arithmetic that would have included ±∞ and NaNs, anticipating features of IEEE Standard floating – point by four decades.

In two 1936 patent applications, Konrad Zuse also anticipated that machine instructions could be stored in the same storage used for data — the key insight of what became known as the von Neumann architecture, first implemented in the British SSEM of 1948.

Zuse was also noted for the S2 computing machine, considered the first process-controlled computer.

In 1967, Zuse also suggested that the universe itself is running on a cellular automaton or similar computational structure ( digital physics ); in 1969, he published the book Rechnender Raum ( translated into English as Calculating Space ).

In 1936 Konrad Zuse also anticipated in two patent applications that machine instructions could be stored in the same storage used for data.

During the festival there are also many lectures, the most well-known speakers are until this day Robert Jungk, Joseph Weizenbaum and Konrad Zuse.

While Zuse never became a member of the Nazi Party, he is not known to have expressed any doubts or qualms about working for the Nazi war effort.

Notwithstanding, the idea of programming language existed earlier ; the first high-level programming language to be designed for a computer was Plankalkül, developed for the German Z3 by Konrad Zuse between 1943 and 1945.

The first actual implementation of a Turing-complete machine appeared in 1941: the program-controlled Z3 of Konrad Zuse, but the first machine explicitly designed to be Turing complete and widely appreciated as being universal was the 1946 ENIAC.

Plankalkül (, " Plan Calculus ") is a computer language designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse between 1943 and 1945.

* The German Z3 ( shown working in May 1941 ) was designed by Konrad Zuse.

* 1943-Plankalkül ( Konrad Zuse ), designed, but unimplemented for a half-century

* Z5 ( computer ) designed by Konrad Zuse

The Z4 was the world's first commercial digital computer, designed by German engineer Konrad Zuse and built by his company Zuse Apparatebau between 1942 and 1945 .< ref >

The Z1 was a mechanical computer designed by Konrad Zuse from 1935 to 1936 and built by him from 1936 to 1938.

The Z1 was the first in a series of computers that Zuse designed.

The first programmable computer built by Konrad Zuse used binary notation for numbers.

In 1941 Konrad Zuse presented the Z3, the world's first fully functional and programmable computer using electromechanical parts.

In 1938, Konrad Zuse of Berlin completed the Z1, the first mechanical binary programmable computer, this was however unreliable in operation.

Konrad Zuse, architect of the first programmable computer, which used 22-bit binary floating point.

The first was the German work of Konrad Zuse.

Working in isolation in Germany, Konrad Zuse started construction in 1936 of his first Z-series calculators featuring memory and ( initially limited ) programmability.

Heinz Rutishauser, one of the inventors of ALGOL, wrote: " The very first attempt to devise an algorithmic language was undertaken in 1948 by K. Zuse.

* Konrad Zuse, inventor of first working programmable computer

* 1941 – Konrad Zuse presents the Z3, the world's first working programmable, fully automatic computer, in Berlin.

Her work never ran because Babbage's machine was never completed to a functioning standard in her time ; the first programmer to successfully run a program on a functioning modern electronically based computer was pioneer computer scientist Konrad Zuse, who achieved this feat in 1941.

* May 12 – Konrad Zuse presents the Z3, the world's first working programmable, fully automatic computer, in Berlin.

:" The very first attempt to devise an algorithmic language was undertaken in 1948 by K. Zuse.

His experience with programming the ENIAC and its successors led him to create Short Code ( see " The UNIVAC SHORT CODE "), the first programming language actually used on a computer ( predated by Zuse ’ s conceptual Plankalkul ).

He became an expert about the first computers of the University of Ljubljana, the Zuse Z-23 and its successor the IBM 1130.

* 1941 Konrad Zuse builds the first computer, Z3

The first version of Doxygen borrowed code from an early version of DOC ++ ( developed by Roland Wunderling and Malte Zöckler at Zuse Institute Berlin ); later, the Doxygen code was rewritten by Dimitri van Heesch.

While working on his Z4 computer, Zuse realised that programming in machine code was too complicated.

In 1948 Zuse published a paper about the Plankalkül in the " Archiv der Mathematik " but still did not attract much feedback-for a long time to come programming a computer would only be thought of as programming with machine code.

In 1948, Konrad Zuse published a paper about his programming language Plankalkül.

The partially finished, relay-based Z4, which Zuse had begun constructing in 1942, had been moved to a safe location earlier.

Zuse built the S1 and S2 computing machines, which were special purpose devices which computed aerodynamic corrections to the wings of radio-controlled flying bombs.

The movie Tron: Legacy, which revolves around a world inside a computer system, features a character named Zuse, presumably in honour of Konrad Zuse.

On May 15, 2002, a special exhibition opened which featured the inventions of computer pioneer Konrad Zuse, including a reproduction of the Z1.

A single program was called by Zuse a Rechenplan ( i. e. computation plan ) and already in 1944 Zuse envisioned a device that should read and then automatically translate a mathematical formulation of a program into machine readable punched film stock – a device which he called Planfertigungsgerät ( i. e. plan construction device ).

The Zuse Institute Berlin is named in his honour.

The Konrad Zuse Medal of the Gesellschaft für Informatik, and the Konrad Zuse Medal of the Zentralverband des Deutschen Baugewerbes ( Central Association of German Construction ), are both named after Zuse.
