[PAR] [TLE] Manchester Mark 1 [SEP] The Manchester Mark 1 was one of the earliest stored-program computers, developed at the Victoria University of Manchester from the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM) or "Baby" (operational in June 1948).  It was also called the Manchester Automatic Digital Machine, or MADM.  Work began in August 1948, and the first version was operational by April 1949; a program written to search for Mersenne primes ran error-free for nine hours on the night of 16/17 June 1949. [PAR] [TLE] UTEC [SEP] UTEC was a computer built at the University of Toronto (UofT) in the early 1950s.  It was one of the first working computers in the world, although only built in a prototype form while awaiting funding for expansion into a full-scale version.  This funding was eventually used to purchase a surplus Manchester Mark 1 from Ferranti in the UK instead, and UTEC quickly disappeared.  The name was an acronym for "University of Toronto Electronic Computer".
