accumulator

1. Archaic term for a register. On-line use of it as a synonym for `register' is a fairly reliable indication that the user has been around for quite a while and/or that the architecture under discussion is quite old. The term in full is almost never used of microprocessor registers, for example, though symbolic names for arithmetic registers beginning in `A' derive from historical use of the term `accumulator' (and not, actually, from `arithmetic'). Confusingly, though, an `A' register name prefix may also stand for `address', as for example on the Motorola 680x0 family.

2. A register being used for arithmetic or logic (as opposed to addressing or a loop index), especially one being used to accumulate a sum or count of many items. This use is in context of a particular routine or stretch of code. "The FOOBAZ routine uses A3 as an accumulator."

3. One's in-basket (esp. among old-timers who might use sense 1).

You want this reviewed? Sure, just put it in the accumulator.

Orgone Energy Accumulator

Wilhelm Reich's magical orgasm box. He was a sexual prophet who believed he invented a box that would allow sexual healing. It was a metal lined, wooden box, insulated with steel wool and large enough to hold a man. It collected orgone energy and if you entered it you would have better orgasms.

Many mid 20th century celebrities were devotees.

William S. Burroughs entered the Orgone Energy Accumulator and orgasmed without touching himself. "Look Ma, no hands!"
