Dec Opcodes – DEC Architecture Reference Before the microprocessor, there was DEC. The minicomputers built by Digital Equipment Corporation didn't just advance computing - they defined it. Unix was born on a PDP-7. Spacewar! ran on a PDP-1. The field of Artificial Intelligence was born on the PDP-10. The VAX powered universities and research labs worldwide for a generation. DecOpcodes puts the complete instruction sets of these legendary machines in your pocket. Five iconic architectures covered: PDP-1 (1960) · PDP-8 (1965) · PDP-10 (1966) · PDP-11 (1970) · VAX (1977) For every instruction: • Full description of what the instruction does • Octal and hex encoding • Flags affected • Addressing modes, word count, and cycle counts • Assembly code examples and implementation notes But there is a lot more than just dry opcodes: • Complete system specifications and register architecture • Historical context and cultural impact • Archival photographs - front panels, system cabinets, and more • Notable installations and the systems they powered • Architecture variants and successors • Interactive lessons on assembly language and console operations (ideal if you have an PiDP emulator) Built for exploration: • Search across all systems instantly • A simple assembler for PDP-1, -8 and -11 code • Filter by instruction category • Sort alphabetically or by category • Favorite instructions for quick reference Beautifully designed: • System-specific accent colours • Five themes including Terminal green and Blinkenlights orange • Full Dark Mode support From the 18-bit simplicity of the PDP-1 to the 32-bit sophistication of the VAX, DecOpcodes is a fascinating and interactive journey through the machines that made modern computing possible. All features are free and unlocked. If you like the app you can always leave a nice review or tip the developer!
