ABSTRACT:
A computing system includes a central processor unit (CPU) in combination with external memory units. The CPU includes an arithmetic logic (ALU), an instruction register, a random access memory, and a control system for interconnecting the functional elements of the CPU via sequential use of a common parallel buss, enabling the CPU to be defined on a single chip. The ALU is capable of performing eight separate arithmetic and logic functions utilizing common logic gates.
