The Computer Exhibition

Cluj was one of the most important cybernetics development centers in Eastern Europe. The DACICC-1 and DACICC-200 computer machines made by the Institute of Computers from Cluj-Napoca under the guidance of acad. Tiberiu Popoviciu. [DACICC-1](https://ictp.acad.ro/ro/dacicc-1/ ) was the first Romanian computer with transistors and the first one with magnetic core memory. DACICC-200 was the first Romanian computer with operating system and compiler capable of hard-cabled arithmetic instructions. This model is the most performant computer machine made by Romanians before making computers under license.

In order to have a better perception on our pioneer history in the IT sector a small exhibition will be available at IT Days.
