ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a digital computer whose structure is programmable. As a result, the computer's data section, which transforms operands in response to control word sequences, can be readily changed to interpret different types of control words. This is to be distinguished from merely changing the sequence of some fixed set of control words in a control memory. The disclosed programmable structure also enables the computer's control section, which generates the control word sequences, to be readily modified to perform different types of branches as opposed to branches of some rigidly fixed set.
