A feature of the architecture of the central processor was the lack of a battery for the results of arithmetic operations, all arithmetic operations were “register-register” operations. Compared to AN / UYK-20, it had an independent I / O controller and synchronous memory, the performance of the I / O subsystem was twice as high as that of AN / UYK-20 [3] .
