The TNINE CPU has an address space of 18 trits. This lets it directly access 729 OTs (7293 / 387,420,489 Trytes) of memory.

Interesting Notes

  • A trit can store log2(3) or 1.58496250072 bits of information. 729 OTs can store the near equivalent of 658.8 MBs of information. Not quite a gigabyte.
  • A Tryte can fit in 15 bits as a converted value. (19683 < 32768)
  • A Tryte needs 18 bits using BCT.
