Computer word
A computer word is a measurement of the size of the "natural" amount of
computer memory a particular computer uses. For instance, many early
computers used 36 bits in a word, that is, the computer would read and write
36 bits at a time. This number was based on the then-common need to store
decimal numbers efficiently, and it was common to use 6-bit binary coded
decimal numbers for this task. A 36-bit machine would handle 6 of these
digits at a time, and lower cost machines would typically use 12, 18 or 24
bit words instead.
Today the 6-bit digit has largely disappeared, and the basic unit for
computer words is 8-bits, or a byte. This change occurred when computers
became more commonly used for text processing, which required 7 or 8 bits to
store an ASCII character. The first machine to widely introduce the 8-bit
multiple for words was the IBM 360 in the 1960s, and it quickly took over
the entire market.
Today the term "word" is rarely used, and instead we simply refer to the
number of bits. For instance most common CPUs today use a 32-bit word, but
we refer to them as "32-bit processors".
