The SCAB computer is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer. It has four instructions and does not use any operand which means that only 2 bits per instruction is needed to code all instructions. Although the instruction set and instruction size is small, the language form by its instruction set is Turing complete. The SCAB is an esoteric or academic computer, as many instructions are needed to do simple operation.

  • The SCAB computer is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer. It has four instructions and does not use any operand which means that only 2 bits per instruction is needed to code all instructions. Although the instruction set and instruction size is small, the language form by its instruction set is Turing complete. The SCAB is an esoteric or academic computer, as many instructions are needed to do simple operation. However, the SCAB has a very simple architecture and the number of transistor to make a SCAB is extremely limited. Therefore, its performance relative to the number of transistor might still be interesting. For example a huge number of SCAB could easily be integrated in a single chip and massive parallelization could make this concept attractive.
