Word-addressable
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Word-addressable is a Computer Architecture term.
In computer architecture, a word is an ordered set of bytes or bits (typically 4 bytes(=32 bits)) that is the normal unit in which information may be stored, transmitted, or operated on within a given computer.
Typically, if a processor has a fixed-length instruction set, then the instruction length equals the word length.
