Arithmetic and control techniques in a multiprogram computer

Published: 01 December 1959 Publication History

Abstract

In the design of a data processor for commercial applications, the designer is very often striving for better machine performance for little or no increase in cost. In the system design of the Honeywell 800 transistorized data processing system, several design concepts were utilized to help achieve this objective. One of these techniques involves the use of a small auxiliary memory to aid in the control of the high speed central processor. A second technique uses a new word organization that results in a faster and less costly arithmetic element.
