PDP-11 Processor Handbook

This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the Digital Equipment Corporation's PDP-11 family of processors, specifically the 11/04, 11/34, 11/45, and 11/55 models.

Key sections include: - System Architecture: Details on the UNIBUS, central processor registers, instruction sets, and memory organization. - Addressing Modes: A detailed breakdown of single and double operand addressing, direct and deferred addressing, and the use of the stack pointer and program counter. - Instruction Set: A categorized reference to the powerful instruction repertoire, covering general, shift/rotate, logic, program control, and trap instructions. - Programming Techniques: Guidance on using the stack, subroutine linkage, reentrancy, and position-independent code (PIC). - Machine Specifics: In-depth chapters for each processor, including descriptions, specifications, and operator console operations for the 11/04, 11/34, and the 11/45/55 series. - Appendices: Useful reference material including UNIBUS addresses, instruction timing metrics, and an instruction index.
