From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
orthogonal adj. [from mathematics] Mutually independent; well separated; sometimes, irrelevant to. Used in a generalization of its mathematical meaning to describe sets of primitives or capabilities that, like a vector basis in geometry, span the entire `capability space' of the system and are in some sense non-overlapping or mutually independent. For example, in architectures such as the PDP-11 or VAX where all or nearly all registers can be used interchangeably in any role with respect to any instruction, the register set is said to be orthogonal. Or, in logic, the set of operators `not' and `or' is orthogonal, but the set `nand', `or', and `not' is not (because any one of these can be expressed in terms of the others). Also used in comments on human discourse: "This may be orthogonal to the discussion, but...." | |

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
orthogonal N mutually orthogonal {vectors} {span} an N-dimensional {vector space}, meaning that, any vector in the space can be expressed as a {linear combination} of the vectors. This is true of any set of N {linearly independent} vectors. The term is used loosely to mean mutually independent or well separated. It is used to describe sets of primitives or capabilities that, like linearly independent vectors in geometry, span the entire "capability space" and are in some sense non-overlapping or mutually independent. For example, in logic, the set of operators "not" and "or" is described as orthogonal, but the set "nand", "or", and "not" is not (because any one of these can be expressed in terms of the others). Also used loosely to mean "irrelevant to", e.g. "This may be orthogonal to the discussion, but ...", similar to "going off at a tangent". See also {orthogonal instruction set}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
orthogonal instruction set instructions have the same format and all {registers} and {addressing modes} can be used interchangeably - the choices of {op code}, register, and addressing mode are mutually independent (loosely speaking, the choices are "{orthogonal}"). This contrasts with some early {Intel} {microprocessors} where only certain registers could be used by certain instructions. Examples include the {PDP-11}, {680x0}, {ARM}, {VAX}. (2002-06-26) |
