Title
On the Power of the Shift Instruction
Abstract
This paper examines the power of the shift primitive when included in a high level model operatin on unbounded integers. It is shown that in such a model a constant number of registers suffices for simulating an unbounded memory RAM of the sam instruction set. The simulation is on-line, and its cost can be bounded by O ( t α( s )), for a RAM program of running time t and space s . By multitask programming (postponing lengthy updates) it can be made close to real-time ( O (α( s )) per operation).
