| | UNIVAC |
 | | The UNIVAC was used for general purpose computing with large amounts of input and output. | | | The UNIVAC I was unique in that it separated the complex problems of input and output from the actual computation facility. | | | The UNIVAC was also the first computer to come equipped with a magnetic tape unit and was the first computer to use buffer memory. |

| | UNIVAC 1103 and 1105: The 1103 was the first "scientific" computer, and its users established USE as an organization to share software. | | | Scientific computers, such as the UNIVAC 1103A and 1105 operated in pure binary, with instructions for both fixed and floating-point arithmetic, but none for decimal. | | | UNIVAC's edge over IBM in easy timesharing access also facilitated program conversions: program card decks could be read into disk files and changed with the ED processor, which seemed very powerful at the time. |

| | Univac computers were part of the legacy of one of the first commercial computer models, designed by John W. Mauchly (see Akera’s paper) and John P. Eckert. | | | In the early 1950s, companies conceived of their Univac computers as status symbol and proudly placed them on public display, and ‘Univac’ briefly served as the generic name for computers. | | | Both groups formed in late 1955 and required their members to have or at least to consider a Univac computer installation. |

| | The UNIVAC had the ability to store the control counter value in memory, making it possible for the flow of a program to go to a subprogram and then return to where it was in the main program. | | | This was enormously favorable publicity for the UNIVAC I, and for several years the name UNIVAC was synonymous with computer in the public mind. | | | Later computers would be designed with electronic circuits to perform calculations on numbers in floating-point format, but the UNIVAC did not have hardware instructions of this sort. |
