The Computer Programming Manual (CPM) provides information needed by a programmer to understand how to program a given computer. This manual focuses on the computer itself, not on particular software that will run on the computer.

The CPM is intended for newly developed computers, special-purpose computers, or other computers for which commercial or other programming manuals are not readily available.

This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by specific and discrete task requirements as delineated in the contract.

This DID is used when the developer is tasked to identify and record information needed to program the computer(s) on which software was developed or on which it will run.

This DID supersedes DI-IPSC-81447.
