accumulator


1. archaic term for a register. on-line use of it as a synonym for `register’ is a fairly reliable indication that the user has been around for quite a while and/or that the architecture under discussion is quite old. the term in full is almost never used of microprocessor registers, for example, though symbolic names for arithmetic registers beginning in `a’ derive from historical use of the term `acc-mulator’ (and not, actually, from `arithmetic’). confusingly, though, an `a’ register name prefix may also stand for `address’, as for example on the motorola 680×0 family.

2. a register being used for arithmetic or logic (as opposed to addressing or a loop index), especially one being used to acc-mulate a sum or count of many items. this use is in context of a particular routine or stretch of code. “the foobaz routine uses a3 as an acc-mulator.”

3. one’s in-basket (esp. among old-timers who might use sense 1).
you want this reviewed? sure, just put it in the acc-mulator.
