SABRE Computer Studies. Phase I. Appendix B. Computer Instruction Study.
Abstract
When the term 'instruction' is used in conjunction with the computer field, it referes to a set of characters which, as a unit, causes a computer to perform one of its operations. Such operations could be; add, subtract, multiple, divide, etc. The primary intent of this study is to show the power and capability that could be built into a digital computer. Each instruction is discussed in a capability sense, showing expected results upon execution as well as possible limitations or extentions. No attempt is made to show computer hardware techniques that could be incorporated for instruction execution. Block diagrams and examples, when used, are only to better emphasize the writings.
