Wordmark (computer hardware)
- Wordmark (computer hardware)
In computer hardware, a wordmark is a bit in each memory location on some variable word length computers (e.g., IBM 1401, IBM 1620) used to mark the end of a word. Sometimes the actual bit used as a wordmark on a given machine is not called "wordmark", but has a different name (e.g., "flag" on the IBM 1620, because on this machine it is multipurpose).
