Register Machine Models
For more details on this topic, see Register machine.van Emde Boas (1990) includes all machines of this type in one category (group, class, collection) -- "the register machine". However, historically the literature has also called the most primitive member of this group i.e. "the counter machine" -- "the register machine". And the most primitive embodiment of a "counter machine" is sometimes called the "Minsky machine".

Famous quotes containing the words register, machine and/or models:
“A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Psychiatric enlightenment has begun to debunk the superstition that to manage a machine you must become a machine, and that to raise masters of the machine you must mechanize the impulses of childhood.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
