and to the most common and efficient size of memory operations. A TNS word is
2 bytes (16 bits) wide, beginning on any 2-byte boundary in memory. A MIPS RISC
word is 4 bytes (32 bits) wide, beginning on any 4-byte boundary in memory. An Intel
Itanium word is also 4 bytes (32 bits) wide, beginning on any 4-byte boundary in
memory.
