It was designed by a team at the University using the fastest transistors available to be the first machine capable of over a million instructions per second and the first to use virtual memory — a technique still in use today. In , The University of Manchester was the first UK university to form an academic department of computer science with an undergraduate programme starting in In the department moved into the purpose-built Kilburn Building, named after the first Head of Department, Tom Kilburn.
MU5 was 20 times as fast as Atlas, achieved by many innovations including modern integrated circuits, a faster store and an instruction set designed to support higher level programming languages.
