The expected benefits of this standard ISA are the use and re-use of available support software such as compilers and instruction level simulators. Other benefits may also be achieved such as: (a) reduction in total support software gained by the use of the standard ISA for two or more computers in a weapon system, and (b) software development independent of hardware development.
