What a great Wikipedia page! This is a real labour of love, I love the detail and the wry asides ("Every token had to be delimited by an apostrophe, making it hard to read and even harder to prepare tapes").
17ms for a multiplication, wow. Incredible to think that's now the budget for an entire 3D rendered frame.
Like others in this thread I was very skeptical of the SVC16 design, but this real computer feels weirdly unbalanced in the same kind of way. 31-bit instructions, but only 4K words of memory (16KB) in total? 17ms multiplication, but it can also do division? Very strange.
