It was very cost reduced so it could rent for $1000/mo.  The minimum
memory size was 4K which was too small, but 8K was apparently usable.

The early S/3 instruction set is on bitsavers.  Very interesting.

Consider the KDF9, running in 1964.
Instructions were 8 bits, with instructions referencing
memory being 24 bits.
With 32K of memory (48-bit words), it was able to
run 4 programs concurrently.
single and double precision floating-point (48 and 96 bits),
and single and double precision integers (48 and 96 bits).

I'm going to go out on a limb here and consider it:

USELESS

Well, useless for any use I've ever seen a computer put to use for.

  he KDF9 was designed for, and used almost entirely in, the
  mathematical and scientific processing fields – in 1967, nine were in
  use in UK universities and technical colleges.

No byte addressing.  No decimal arithmetic.

I wonder, the Wikipedia page implies it was only installed in
universities.  Did it ever have any real world usage?

The Wikipedia page also says that one was in use at the National
Physical Laboratory in the UK until 1980. If this computer was
useless, so was its contemporary the IBM 7094. Both were designed to
do scientific and engineering computation, not accounting.

Some people may not find value in the kinds of calculations that
determine whether a bridge design will collapse in a strong wind, but
I suspect the people who use the bridge would disagree.

FYI, at the same time they built the much less interesting KDF8
for commercial computing, a clone of the RCA 501.

How is the 7094 introduced in January 1962 a contemporary of a
machine from 1967.

The KDF9 was running in 1964.

IIRC, the KDF8 preceded the KDF9.

What a deeply ignorant and silly claim.

Inter alia, the design calculations for Concorde were done on KDF9s,
as were those for the UK's fusion research labs.

Good point.  I've been driving for 50 years but I've never had any need to drive
a semi-trailer or a dump truck, so they are useless too.

You have 66 years of personal experience with computers, and yet you've never 
seen a computer put to use for any purpose for which an English Electric KDF9 
computer would be useful?

I find that somewhat hard to believe.

Another claim to fame for the KDF9 computer is that one of the early ALGOL 60 
compilers was written for it, and a consequence of that is that the Whetstone 
floating-point performance benchmark was first developed for the KDF9.

Ah, I see: you were commenting on the fact that it did not have the ability to 
address individual bytes in storage, nor did it have hardware instructions to 
carry out decimal arithmetic. It was a scientific machine, not a commercial one.

Accounts recievable and that sort of thing *can* be carried out on a computer 
that only has binary integer arithmetic. Doing arithmetic on decimal numbers 
saves the time taken to convert to binary, which may be more efficient despite 
decimal calculations being slower and more complicated, if numbers are stored as 
text, and only a very limited amount of calculation is performed before the 
results are stored again.

I see, however, that your statement has some justification. The KDF9 had an 
assembly language called Usercode. It had two Algol 60 compilers and a FORTRAN 
compiler. But while English Electric promised that it would have a COBOL 
compiler, it never ended up being delivered. So while in theory it would not 
have been 'useless' for commercial work, in practice it would have been somewhat 
impractical, as Algol or FORTRAN would have to be used for programming it.

The IBM 7090 computer, another scientific computer, was provided with a COBOL 
compiler by IBM - and so was the PDP-10 by DEC - so scientific computers can be 
used for business.

All those years and all I did was commercial work.
No rocket trajectories, no numerical control, not even any Fortran.
But why would I do those things?  My skill was in developing complex
systems not rendering formulas into code or whatever it is they do in
Fortran shops.

On the other hand, I have worked with computers that could and did
complex calculations (like sales forecasting).  I just never worked with
computers that could ONLY do complex calculations.

> I find that somewhat hard to believe.

I can't see why.  There was and is a massive amount of work being done
running businesses with computers.

So, while a KDF9 could do some of the things I've seen computers do,
it wouldn't have much value doing the other things that business would
need, hence my somewhat wry comment about the machine being useless.

It was being put forward as some kind of ultimate expression of ideal
computer design.

The idea that it had 8 bit instructions but no character handling
seems a bit weird.  The 14xx machines had lots of instructions that
were only 7 bits.  But that was when you were using the storage
addresses left over from previous instructions.

I wonder how the KDF9 pulled that off.  Were those 8 bit instructions
using pre-ordained registers?  Cause that would be bad, in this same
thread a poster decried need for load/store as part of doing arithmetic.
So, in 8 bits how was a storage address determined?

Um, I already pointed out that a KDF9 was installed at
Lyons Electronic Office for its catering business.

Other users includede --
Wills Tobacco
Sun Life Assurance
National Computing Ceter
ICI
Baric.
There are a some 6 KDF9 installations as yet unidentified.

KDF9 had  instructions for converting characters to and from binary.

KDF9 was a stack machine, using a push-down pop-up
stack of fast registers holding values.

I just explained that. Wiki would tell you.
An add instruction, for example, took the two two values
from the stack added them, and returned the sum to the top of the stack.

So, that stack is somethings like registers and to do binary arithmetic and
save results in storage you have to push and pop from the stack.

On the S/360 you can add to any register.
On this machine it sounds like you have to work on only the top of the
stack.  Sounds like working on 2 or more computations at once
would involve a lot of stack manipulation.

Sounds like the B5500. The top two stack elements were registers and the
rest storage. I think later designs used more registers. It also sounds a
lot like the 8087 and successors, with the FP register stack. I hate it,
but mostly perhaps because x86 is not a stack architecture, so I need two
different register allocation schemes.

Yes; the KDF9 and the Burroughs machines were designed independently
at about the same time -- c. 1960

The IBM SJ article on the design of the 360 said they considered
making it a stack machine but decided on multiple registers instead.
The good thing about stack machines is that the code is compact with
many zero-address instructions and is easy for compilers to generate.
(Register assignments by compilers wasn't well undestood until the
late 1970s.) The bad thing is that you do indeed have a fair number of
instructions doing stack manipulation and keeping the top N stack
elements in fast registers and spilling the rest to memory was hard to
make fast.

I'm surprised you never ran into stack machines. The Burroughs B5000
and its successors in the 1960s and 1970s used a stack as did the
later HP3000.

Doubtless some of the many UNIX systems I worked with were stack
oriented.  But I had no need to know what C was doing under the covers.
Well, I did look on Sun hardware and looked in great detail on z/OS
systems.

Actually now I think about it, later z/os systems had a call stack
which I used a bit.
