The architecture of the Burroughs B5000
Alastair J. W. Mayer · ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News · 1982
The Burroughs B5000 was introduced over twenty years ago. The architectural features it introduced, and refined when it was upgraded to the B5500 and B6500, are only now appearing in new computer designs. This paper briefly describes some of these features, as they relate to high-level language and operating system support, and as interesting features in their own right. References are given for more detailed information.
