  Nova
       
           A minicomputer(?), introduced some time before
          1978, with four 16-bit accumulators, AC0 to AC3 and a 15 bit
          program counter.  A later model also had a 15-bit stack
          pointer and frame pointer.  AC2 and AC3 could be used for
          indexed addresses and AC3 was used to store the return address
          on a subroutine call.  Apart from the small register set,
          the NOVA was an ordinary CPU design.
       
          Memory could be access indirectly through addresses stored in
          other memory locations.  If locations 0 to 3 were used for
          this purpose, they were auto-incremented after being used.  If
          locations 4 to 7 were used, they were auto-decremented.
          Memory could be addressed in 16-bit words up to a maximum of
          32K words (64K bytes).  The instruction cycle time was 500
          nanoseconds(?) cycle time for each.  The Nova originally
          used core memory though later on they gained dynamic RAM.
       
          Like the PDP-8, the Data General Nova was also copied, not
          just in one, but two implementations - the Data General
          MN601 and Fairchild 9440.  Luckily, the NOVA was a more
          mature design than the PDP-8.
       
          Another CPU, the PACE, was based on the NOVA design, but
          featured 16-bit addresses (instead of the Nova's 15), more
          addressing modes and a 10-level stack (like the Intel
          8008).

  Nova \No"va\ (n[=o]"v[.a]), n.; pl. L. Novae (n[=o]"v[=e]), E.
     Novas (n[=o]"v[.a]z). [L., fem. sing. of novus new.]
     (Astron.)
     A star which suddenly increases in brightness thousands of
     times, then fades back to near its original intensity. It may
     appear as a ``new'' star if its original brightness was too
     low for routine observation. A star which suddenly increases
     in brightness to many millions of times its original
     intensity is a supernova, and the postulated mechanisms for
     the increases of brightness of novae and supernovae are
     different.
  
     Note: The most important modern nov[ae] are:

     No"va Au*ri"g[ae][1891-92];
  
     No"va Per"se*i[1901]. There are two nov[ae] called Nova
        Persei. They are:
     (a) A small nova which appeared in 1881.
     (b) An extraordinary nova which appeared in Perseus in 1901.
         It was first sighted on February 22, and for one night
         (February 23) was the brightest star in the sky. By July
         it had almost disappeared, after which faint surrounding
         nebulous masses were discovered, apparently moving
         radially outward from the star at incredible velocity.

  Nova \No"va\ (n[=o]"v[.a]), n.; pl. L. Nov[ae] (-v[=e]), E.
     Novas (-v[.a]z). [L., fem. sing. of novus new.] (Astron.)
     A new star, usually appearing suddenly, shining for a brief
     period, and then sinking into obscurity. Such appearances are
     supposed to result from cosmic collisions, as of a dark star
     with interstellar nebulosities.
