	TIFRAC was the first computer developed in India. It was in use from the mid-1950s to 1965, and was an early user of ferrite core memory. Its design was influenced by von Neumann's design principles, making it an IAS-type system. Specifically, the TIFRAC was influenced by fragments of knowledge about the ORDVAC system.
