CER-10
CER (Serbian: Цифарски Електронски Рачунар – Digital Electronic Computer) model 10 was a vacuum tube , transistor and electronic relays based computer developed at IBK-Vinca and Mihajlo Pupin Institute (Serbia) in 1960, ref.(1),(4)]. This was the first digital computer ever[1] developed in SFRY.
CER-10 was designed by prof. dr Tihomir Aleksić[1] and his associates ( acad. dr Rajko Tomović, Ahmed Mandžić, Petar Vrbavac, Vukašin Masnikosa, Dušan Hristović and Milojko Marić ) and developed over the period of four years. The team is said to have included 10 engineers, 10 technicians and many others.[2] After initial prototype testing and redesign in the M.Pupin Institute it was fully deployed at Tanjug Agency building and worked there from 1963. to 1967.
First CER-10 was situated from 1961. in SKNE-DSUP building, which later belonged to Tanjug.[3]
March 2006 the M.P.Institute gave the case and parts of CER-10 to the Museum of Science and Technology in Belgrade, where it was now displayed.
