Memory
From T729 Balanced Ternary Computer
Jump to navigationJump to search
The T729 CPU has a 12 trit address space. This lets it directly access 729 QTs (531441 Trytes) of memory.
Interesting Notes
- A trit can store log2(3) or 1.58496250072 bits of information. 729 QTs can store the equivalent of 616.92 KBs of information. Slightly more than half a Megabyte.
- A Tryte at minimum can fit in 10 bits as a value. (729 < 1014)
- A Tryte needs 12 bits using a Dual Binary setup. Six pairs if bits. (729 < 4096)
- On a modern computer storing a Tryte would waste a full 16 bit word. (729 < 65536)
