This is a list of UNIVAC products. It ends in 1986, the year that Sperry Corporation merged with Burroughs Corporation to form Unisys as a result of a hostile takeover bid [ 1 ] launched by Burrough's CEO W. Michael Blumenthal.
In the course of its history, UNIVAC produced a number of separate model ranges. One early UNIVAC line of vacuum tube computers was based on the ERA 1101 and those models built at ERA were rebadged as UNIVAC 110x; despite the 1100 model numbers, they were not related to the latter 1100/2200 series. The 1103A is credited in the literature as the ...
An upgraded 1106 was called the UNIVAC 1100/10. In this new naming convention, the final digit represented the number of CPUs or CAUs in the system, so that, for example, a two-processor 1100/10 system was designated an 1100/12. An upgraded 1108 was called the UNIVAC 1100/20. An upgraded 1110 was released as the UNIVAC 1100/40.
The 9-month course had 4 phases and phase 3 was UYK-20. Phase 3 was broken into the following sections: Microinstructions; Macroinstructions; Processor/Emulator; Memory; Input/Output; Graded Troubleshooting (Mids)- MIDS was the last week of Phase 3 where the class started at 2300 hours and finished at 0630.
After a meeting in January 1964 with representatives from Univac and the Naval Air Development Center, contracts worth almost $2 million [3] were awarded to Univac Defense Systems Division to engineer, build and test the first digital 30-bit Airborne computer, the CP-823/U (Univac 1830) engineering prototype, for the A-NEW MOD3 test aircraft.
UNIVAC 1102: 1954 3: A variation of the UNIVAC 1101 built for the US Air Force DYSEAC: 1954 1 Built by the U.S. National Bureau of Standards as an improved version of SEAC. Mounted in a trailer van, making it the first computer to be transportable. WISC: 1954 1 Built by the University of Wisconsin–Madison: REAC 400 (C-400) [12] 1955 [13]
The UNIVAC 1103A or Univac Scientific is an upgraded version introduced in March 1956. [8] [9] [1] [page needed] Significant new features on the 1103A were its magnetic-core memory and the addition of interrupts to the processor. [10] 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.
The American Society for Precision Engineering is a non-profit member association, founded in 1986, dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences and technology of precision engineering, to promote its dissemination through education and training, [1] and its use by science and industry.
