Small compared to the computers used by the WW2 era Manhattan Project?
There were no computers used by the Manhattan Project. ENIAC was created to calculate ballistic tables for artillery shells and arrived pretty much too late for atomic bomb development, though it was used for hydrogen bomb research. The best the Manhattan project had was punch card calculators, slide rules and perhaps analog "computers".
There is a recent TV serial named Manhattan. At one moment, they mentioned about their computers. I was thrilled. Then they showed a room full a women, doing computing, ie, calculations by hand. :-) Another time they mentioned IBM machines, calculators I think. But I did not see them. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
