The UNIVAC 1110 had support for multiprocessing: up to six CPUs.
When Sperry Rand replaced the core memory with semiconductor memory, the same machine was released as the UNIVAC 1100/40. In this new naming convention, the final digit represented the number of CPUs (called CAUs) in the system.
Sperry Rand sold a total of 290 processors in 1110 systems.
The UNIVAC division of Remington Rand was renamed the Univac division of Sperry Rand.
In the 1960s, UNIVAC was one of the eight major computer companies in an industry then referred to as "Snow White and the seven dwarfs"âIBM, the largest, being Snow White and the others being the dwarfs: Burroughs, NCR, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and Honeywell.
The UNIVAC 1105 was the successor to the 1103A, and was introduced in 1958.
