word size

The lower 3000 series used a 24 bit word size.

The word size may refer to how big or small something is.

The slab is an example of a system with an earlier word size.

The sample rate is even more important a consideration than the word size.

A word size is characteristic to a given computer architecture.

H could, for example, be 32, the standard machine word size.

The memory model of an architecture is strongly influenced by the word size.

Computers often have memory addresses larger or smaller than their word size.

It had a 40-bit word size, 20 bit instruction size.

The instruction set architecture has twice been extended to a larger word size.

These machines had a common architecture and word size.

Re-scaling depends on both the B scale value and the word size.

Both word size and radix point can be specified on an operator basis.

The other sizes, if any, are likely to be multiples or fractions of the word size.

In Harvard architectures the word sizes of instructions and data need not be related.

That preferred size becomes the word size of the architecture.

Increasing the word size can speed up multiple precision mathematical libraries.

The machine's word size remains 16 bits, but its memory is now byte-addressable with the same address space.

Depending on how a computer is organized, units of the word size may be used for:

Honeywell's computer had a 24-bit word size, with 47 instructions, and used two's complement representation for data.

The word size needs to be an integral multiple of the character size in this organization.

As computer designs have grown more complex, the central importance of a single word size to an architecture has decreased.

Memory access to unaligned addresses is allowed for all valid word sizes.

The original word size remains available in future designs, forming the basis of a size family.

Four common word sizes and the number of multiplexers needed are listed below:
