| Application |
| Binary floating-point precision |
| Decimal floating-point precision |
In computer architecture, 30-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 30 bits wide. Also, 30-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size.
A 30-bit word can also store 5 6-bit characters. Generally if Floating-point arithmetic such systems used a 60-bit double word.
