The document describes the instruction set and control unit design of a basic computer. It includes:
- Memory reference instructions like AND, ADD, LDA, STA, BUN, BSA, ISZ for arithmetic, data transfer, and control flow.
- Register reference instructions like CLA, CLE, CMA for operations using the accumulator and extended accumulator.
- Input/output instructions like INP, OUT for device I/O.
The control unit implements an instruction cycle of fetch, decode, execute through a hardwired design using a program counter, instruction register, decoders and timing signals from a sequence counter. The instruction format and timing of each instruction type is also explained.
