The first D825 computer was originally built for the Navy Research Laboratory with a designation of AN/GYK-3(V).[6] The D825 contained between one and four 48 bit central processor/arithmetic units, up to 16 memory modules and up to 20 IO modules.[7][8] The BUIC systems used "two computer modules, six memory modules and three input/output modules".[7] The computer was designed for high availability and could still operate if any one of its modules failed.[6]
