- AN/UYK-8
The AN/UYK-8 used the same 30-
bit words andinstruction set as theAN/USQ-17 andAN/USQ-20 Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) computers, but could have two processors instead of just one.Instructions were represented as 30-bit words, in the following format: f 6 bits function code j 3 bits jump condition designator k 3 bits partial word designator b 3 bits which seven index register to use (B0=non used) s 2 bits which S (5bits) register to use S0,S1,S2,S3(P(17-13)) y 13 bits
operand address in memory memory address=Bb+Ss+y=18bit(262144Words)Numbers were represented as full 30-bit words, this allowed for five 6-bit
alphanumeric characters per word.The
main memory was increased to 262,144 words (256K words) ofmagnetic core memory .The available
processor register s were:
*one 30-bit arithmetic (A) register.
*a contiguous 30-bit Q register (total of 60 bits for the result of multiplication or the dividend in division).
*seven 30-bit index (B) registers.ee also
