CER-10
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CER (Serbian: Цифарски Електронски Рачунар - Digital Electronic Computer) model 10 was a vacuum tube and transistor based computer developed by Mihajlo Pupin Institute (Serbia) in 1960. This was the first computer ever (1) developed in SFRY.
CER-10 was designed by prof. dr Tihomir Aleksić (1) and associates (Rajko Tomović, Ahmed Mandžić, Nedeljko Parezanović, Petar Vrbavac, Vukašin Masnikosa, Milojko Marić and Dušan Hristović) and developed over the period of three years. The team is said to have included 10 engineers, 10 technicians and many others (3). After initial prototype testing it was fully deployed in 1963.
First CER-10 was situated in UDBA building which later belonged to Tanjug.(2). March 2006 the Institute gave the case and parts of CER-10 to the Museum of Science and Technology in Belgrade, where it will eventually be displayed.
