Norway's first commercial computer, an #IBM650 dubbed #EMMA (Elektronisk MateMAtikk-regnemaskin), came to #Bergen in 1958, and was delivered to the Geophysical Institute at #UiB.
Input to EMMA was through punch cards to a memory of 2000 words on a rotating magnetic drum, and it could do 1000 additions or 60 multiplications per second. EMMA was famously used to calculate taxes for the Norwegian population from 1958 to 1963, as well as scientific calculations for the university.
