A new algorithm which is called Store-zechin, and utilizes stored data repetitively for calculating the permanent of an n * n matrix is proposed. The analysis manifests that the numbers of multiplications and additions taken by the new algorithm are respectively far smaller than those taken by the famous Ryser algorithm. Especially, for a 5-boson sampling task, the running time of the Store-zechin algorithm computing the correspondent permanent on ENIAC as well as TRADIC is lower than that of the sampling operation on a multiphoton boson sampling machine (shortly MPBSM), and thus MPBSM does not beat the early classical computers (despite of this, it is possible that when n gets large enough, a quantum boson sampling machine will beat a classical computer). On a computer, people can design an algorithm that exchanges space for time while on MPBSM, people can not do so, which is the greatest difference between a universal computer and MPBSM. This difference is right the reason why MPBSM may not be called a (photonic) quantum computer.
