IPL-VC

Shaw et al. have described a possible hardware computer, called IPL-VI, which showed the important features such as a machine should have for its IPL-V instructions, but the input/output and arithmetic instructions are not considered. However, with the arrival of the present-day module concept of arithmetic computer organization, a new possibility arises for the construction of an IPL-V hardware machine. To convert a arithmetical computer into an IPL-V system, it could be provided with a second processor which operates with certain basic IPL-V "J" processes as its instruction set.
