| | UNIVAC Memories |
 | | The first computer I ever used was a UNIVAC 1107, and for more than a decade stretching from 1967 through 1978, most of my programming was oriented toward those machines, spanning four generations of hardware: the 1107, 1108, 1110, and 1100/80 (which I used briefly to develop microprocessor software). | | | Programmers of UNIVAC 1100 mainframes in the 1960's through the mid 1970's exalted in discovering clever ways to squeeze the most out of machines which, by today's standards, would be considered hopelessly slow and short of memory. | | | The UNIVAC 1107 at Case Institute of Technology |

| | The 1108 did well in competitions: a single processor 1108 outperformed an IBM 360/65 and a GE 635 on benchmarks done for the University Computing Company in 1968. | | | Many programmers who came to the 1108 after working on the machines of other computer companies were struck by how easy it was to work with EXEC 8. | | | The 1108 hardware had two base registers, so that all program addressing was done relative to the values in the base registers. |

| | Univac 1108 |
| | Also connected to the 1108 was a SCC 4700 computer. | | | The 1108 used drum storage, and was almost certainly the only computer I ever used that had that type of mass storage. | | | At my summer 1974 job at Giffel's Associates, one of the primary computers in use was a Univac 1108 running the EXEC-8 operating system. |

| | UNIVAC 1108 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The UNIVAC 1108 was the second member of Sperry Rand's UNIVAC 1100 series of computers, introduced in 1964. | | | Integrated circuits replaced the thin film memory that the UNIVAC 1107 used for register storage. | | | In this new naming convention, the final digit represented the number of CPUs (called CAUs) in the system. |

| | GSA retires its vintage Univac |
| | The agency had used one or another Univac system since the early 1970s to run lease software originally written for the Univac 1108. | | | Databases for the lease information system were written in Data Management Language, which he called "the last surviving little dinosaur." Agents used DML to access the databases that ran on the Computer Sciences Teleprocessing System, which resided on the Univac. | | | The 20-year-old Sperry Univac mainframe that ran the leasing information system was breaking down often and costing $12 million a year to maintain. |

| | The UNIVAC 1106 was the third member of Sperry Rand's UNIVAC 1100 series of computers, introduced in December 1969 and was absolutely identical to the UNIVAC 1108 in instruction set. | | | Later Sperry Rand used a different memory system which was inherently slower and cheaper than that of the UNIVAC 1108. | | | Early versions of the UNIVAC 1106 were simply half speed UNIVAC 1108 systems. |
