The UNIVAC 1110 was the fourth member of Sperry Rand's UNIVAC 1100 series of computers, introduced in 1972.

SUMITS, a UNIVAC 1110 mainframe was installed at the MECC facility at 1925 Sather, address later changed to 2520 Broadway Drive ), next to Highway 280.

* UNIVAC 1110

Although the term " Unicode " had previously been used for other purposes, such as the name of a programming language developed for the UNIVAC in the late 1950s, and most notably a universal telegraphic phrase-book that was first published in 1889, Becker may not have been aware of these earlier usages, and he explained that " he name ' Unicode ' is intended to suggest a unique, unified, universal encoding ".

UNIVAC, the first computer designed for business applications, had many significant technical advantages such as magnetic tape for mass storage.

" Livermore was not impressed, and in May 1955 they announced that UNIVAC had won the LARC contract, now called the Livermore Automatic Research Computer.

Remington Rand had recently purchased Eckert – Mauchly Computer Corporation, builders of the famed UNIVAC I, the first commercial computer in the US.

The UNIVAC 1105 had either 8, 192 or 12, 288 words of 36 bit magnetic core memory, in two or three banks of 4, 096 words each.

The UNIVAC 1103A had up to 12, 288 words of 36 bit magnetic core memory, in one to three banks of 4, 096 words each.

While UNIVAC was first with computer tape, and had higher performance than contemporary IBM tape drives, IBM was able to set the data interchange standard.

The UNISERVO I had a high speed rewind capability and multiple drives on the UNIVAC I could rewind while others continued with data processing reads or writes.

The programming to allow the UNIVAC I to be used in predicting the outcome of the 1952 Presidential election had to be done by Mauchly and University of Pennsylvania statistician Max Woodbury at Mauchly's home in Ambler, Pennsylvania.

* The UNIVAC 1005, an enhanced version of the UNIVAC 1004, was introduced in February 1966.

In the 1970s, UNIVAC produced the Real-Time Basic ( RTB ) system to support large-scale time sharing, also patterned after the Dartmouth BASIC system.

Unlike the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II, however, it was a binary machine as well as maintaining support for all UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II decimal and alphanumeric data formats for backward compatibility.

Atlas II, slightly modified became the ERA 1103, while a more heavily modified version with core memory and floating point math support became the UNIVAC 1103A.

Some early computers in the USA also used the Williams tube, including the IAS machine ( originally designed for Selectron tube memory ), the UNIVAC 1103, Whirlwind, IBM 701, IBM 702 and the Standards Western Automatic Computer ( SWAC ).

* October – The UNIVAC 1103 is the first commercial computer to use random access memory.

With John Mauchly he invented the first general-purpose electronic digital computer ( ENIAC ), presented the first course in computing topics ( the Moore School Lectures ), founded the first commercial computer company ( the Eckert – Mauchly Computer Corporation ), and designed the first commercial computer in the U. S., the UNIVAC, which incorporated Eckert's invention of the mercury delay line memory.

The improvements included magnetic ( non-mercury ) core memory of 2000 to 10000 words, UNISERVO II tape drives which could use either the old UNIVAC I metal tapes or the new PET film tapes, and some circuits that were transistorized ( although it was still a vacuum tube computer ).

The UNIVAC Solid State was a 2-address, decimal computer, with memory on a rotating drum with 5000 signed 10 digit words, aimed at the general purpose business market.

* The UNIVAC 418 ( aka 1219 ) was an 18-bit word core memory machine.

* The UNIVAC 490 was a 30-bit word core memory machine with 16K or 32K words ; 4. 8 microsecond cycle time.

* The UNIVAC 492 is similar to the UNIVAC 490, but with extended memory to 64K 30-bit words.

* The UNIVAC 494 was a 30-bit word machine and successor to the UNIVAC 490 / 492 with faster CPU and 131K ( later 262K ) core memory.

* The UNIVAC 1050 was an internally programmed computer with up to 32K of 6-bit character memory, which was introduced in 1963.

* The UNIVAC 90 / 60 Series ( 90 / 60, 90 / 70, 90 / 80 ): Later, more advanced machines such as the Univac 90 / 60 provided systems which featured virtual memory and thus were similar, or equivalent, to later IBM 370 mainframes.

The 1102 was a variant of the UNIVAC 1101, using its 24-bit word and a smaller ( only 8, 192 words ) drum memory.

In 1962, the UNIVAC 1107, intended for the civilian marketplace, used thin-film memory only for its 128-word general register stack.

When Sperry Rand replaced the plated wire memory with semiconductor memory, the same machine was released as the UNIVAC 1100 / 40.

UNIVAC 1105 operator console, in front of the cabinets containing the CPU and memory.

The successor machine was the UNIVAC 1103A or Univac Scientific, which improved upon the design by replacing the unreliable Williams tube memory with magnetic core memory, adding hardware floating point instructions, and a hardware interrupt feature.

In 1949, Remington Rand designed the Remington Rand 409, a control panel programmed punched card calculator ( but not introduced as a product until 1952 as the UNIVAC 60 then in 1953 as the UNIVAC 120 with double the memory ).

The Director of the APL gave them access to their UNIVAC to do the heavy calculations required.

He challenged the accusations, but it took two years before a hearing allowed him to work at his company again ; by then the UNIVAC was seriously behind schedule.

He then got up, installed the program tape to run what was called the " New Old Faithful " program tape, and ran that program which exercised every function UNIVAC could perform.

The A-0 system ( Arithmetic Language version 0 ), written by Grace Hopper in 1951 and 1952 for the UNIVAC I, was the first compiler ever developed for an electronic computer.

Kristen Nygaard was invited to UNIVAC late May 1962 in connection with the marketing of their new UNIVAC 1107 computer.

Proposals were requested from IBM and UNIVAC for this new system, to be called Livermore Automatic Reaction Calculator or LARC.

The improvements included core memory of 2000 to 10000 words, UNISERVO II tape drives which could use either the old UNIVAC I metal tapes or the new PET tapes, and some of the circuits were transistorized ( although it was still a vacuum tube computer ).

The new machine was delivered to the university in February 1951, making it the first commercial computer, about 1 month earlier than the UNIVAC I that was delivered to the US Census Bureau.
