Pluribus Document 4: Basic Software.

Abstract

The Pluribus is a reliable, expandable, high bandwidth line of multi-resource computers originally developed for use as a switching node in the ARPA computer network. It can be configured with arbitrary amounts of memory and I/O tailored to suit the application; it is designed to survive failures and continue operation without human intervention even while repairs are in progress. This report, one of a set of nine volumes documenting the Pluribus line, specifies the instruction set of the processor, introduces the assembly language currently used, and provides a manual for the system debugging program.
