The PDP-10 assembly language instructions LDB and DPB (load/deposit byte) live on as functions in the programming language Common Lisp. See the "References" section on the LISP article. The 36-bit word size of the PDP-6 and PDP-10 was influenced by the programming convenience of having 2 LISP pointers, each 18 bits, in one word.
The US Navy used a PDP–11/34 to control its Multi-station Spatial Disorientation Device, a simulator used in pilot training, until 2007, when it was replaced by a PC-based emulator that could run the original PDP–11 software and interface with custom Unibus controller cards.
The software products being sold under the product names Charon-PDP, Charon-AXP, Charon-VAX, Charon-HPA and Charon-SSP consist of a combination of virtual machine and hardware abstraction layer. They run on Microsoft Windows, Linux or VMware ESXi and provide a virtual PDP-11, VAX, AlphaServer, HP 3000, and SPARC environment. In a first step, a ...
PDP-1 PDP-6 PDP-7 PDP-8/e PDP-11/40 PDP-12 PDP-15 (partial) PDP-15 graphics terminal with light pen and digitizing tablet. Programmed Data Processor (PDP), referred to by some customers, media and authors as "Programmable Data Processor," [1] [2] [3] is a term used by the Digital Equipment Corporation from 1957 to 1990 for several lines of minicomputers.
The PDP-12 (Programmed Data Processor) is a computer that was created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1969 and marketed specifically for science and engineering. [1] It is the third in the LINC family and its main uses were for applications in chemistry, applied psychology, patient monitoring and industrial testing. [ 2 ]
The 6100 is a 12-bit CPU that closely emulates the PDP-8 (See PDP-8 for a more complete discussion). It has three primary registers: PC (program counter), 12-bit AC (accumulator), and MQ (Multiplier Quotient). All two-operand instructions read the AC and MQ and write back to the AC.
The use of a common bus was intended to allow a single controller design to handle multiple peripheral models, [1]: 7.0 and allowed the PDP-10, PDP-11, and VAX computer families to share a common set of peripherals.
The PDP-14 was designed to process Boolean equations, usually expressed as “ladder diagrams” and as such had a programmable read-only program memory. Programs were developed using a PDP-8 then tested using a direct connection to the PDP-14. The PDP-14 was put into a check out mode where instructions were provided by the PDP-8.
