<br/><br/>Soda Hall on U.C. Berkeley campus has housed the Computer Science Department since 1996. Prior to that, Computer Science shared Evans Hall with Mathematics and other departments.<br/><br/>During spring break 1978, Prof. William Kahan of the Mathematics, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering Departments, visiting Prof. Harold Stone and graduate student Jerome Coonen met to discuss Kahan's plan for a standard for floating point arithmetic. Kahan had attended the second meeting of the new IEEE standards subcommittee 754 and he had a plan to bring an ambitious proposal to the third meeting, coming in April 1978. And so arose the first drafts of what became IEEE 754. +

After the invention of the ENIAC at University of Penn, Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC) was formed in 1946. By 1949, EMCC was brought out by Remington Rand and John Mauchly hired Grace M. Hopper. The compiler was invented in 1952 at 3747 Ridge Avenue, East Falls, Philadelphia, PA. Shortly afterwards, the company moved to 1900 Allegany Avenue. In 1955, Remington Rand merged with Sperry Rand. In 1957, The Sperry Rand Company used the Compiler (The Flow-Matic) in UNIVAC, the first open market computer. Many of the same people who worked on the ENIAC were hired from the Moore Engineering School of the University of Pennsylvania. They worked on the UNIVAC using the first Compiler, invented by Grace M. Hopper. It is important to note that COBOL, the later result of the compiler, became well known computer language and used till this day. It was promoted by many lecturers at University of Pennsylvania, universities across the country and internationally by Grace M. Hopper. She educated her pupils on the early history of computers, the compiler, and their importance to society. Eventually, Sperry Rand merged with the business machine company, Burroughs. Today the company is UNISYS. University of Pennsylvania, Moore Engineering school is where the compiler Milestone will be placed. It is located at 200 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, GPS Latitude: 39.95239 - Longitude: -75.190489. It is in a very busy area with much walking traffic. It is safe, with visibility, and security. UNISYS is the caretaker for this history of early computing at this University’s Moore Engineering School. The two buildings still exist in areas that are not safe. They are not an option for a Milestone to be placed there. East Falls area in Philadelphia is going through extensive renovation which gives hope to someday honoring these locations. +
