CER ((セルビア語:Цифарски Електронски Рачунар) – ''Digital Electronic Computer'') model 12 was a third-generation digital computer developed by Mihajlo Pupin Institute (Serbia) in 1971 and intended for "business and statistical data processing" (see ref. Lit. #1 and #4). However, the manufacturer also stated, at the time, that having in mind its architecture and performance, it can also be used successfully in solving "wide array of scientific and technical issues" (ref. Lit.#2 and #3). Computer CER-12 consisted of multiple modules connected via wire wrap and connectors. ==Central Unit== Primary memory * Type: magnetic core memory * Capacity: up to 8 modules, each consisting of 8 kilowords (1 word = 4 8-bit bytes). * Speed: cycle time: 1 μs, access time 0.4 μs. Arithmetic unit contains: * 32-bit accumulator register * two separate groups of eight 2-byte index registers * single-byte adder supporting both binary and BCD addition (same unit is used for subtraction, multiplication and division had to be implemented in software) Control Unit Control unit contains a program counter and instruction registers. It fetches instructions and facilitates program flow. It supports single-operand instruction set and works with all 16 index registers of the arithmetic unit. Interrupt System Interrupt system of CER-12 consists of a number of dedicated registers and software. It supports up to 32 interrupt channels. Control Panel Control panel of CER-12 allowed the operator to control and alter program flow and/or to eliminate errors detected by error-detection circuitry. It features a number of indicators and switches. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CER-12」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
