The simulation is effectively a working PDP8 computer, allowing students to write and run code either at full speed, or in single-step mode.
The accumulator, address, and contents registers are displayed. There is a small coded program which will display multiplication in operation.
PDP-8 Simulation
The PDP-8 was a family of 12-bit minicomputers that was produced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and release in March 1965. It was the first commercially successful minicomputer, with over 50,000 units being sold over the model’s lifetime.
The PDP-8 combined low cost, simplicity, expandability, and careful engineering for value. The greatest historical significance was that the PDP-8’s low cost and high volume made a computer available to many new customers for many new uses. Its continuing significance is as a historical example of value-engineered computer design
