The English Electric KDF9 was a groundbreaking product
of the UK computer industry in the early 1960s.

It is once again possible to learn about KDF9 "hands on"
by running some KDF9 software, including the original
Whetstone Benchmark, using ee9, my KDF9 emulator.

Download packages of the latest release, V3.1a,
for macOS, 64-bit Linux, and Windows, can be found at:

<http://www.findlayw.plus.com/KDF9/emulation/?C=M;O=D>

Older versions remain available for the Raspberry Pi and ancient Macs.
The present version should compile and run successfully using GNAT,
the GNU Ada 2102 compiler, under the Stretch version of Raspbian,
but I do not own a Raspberry Pi, so cannot check this myself.
Please let me know if you attempt it, whether successfully or not.

For more detail, without downloading everything, see the Users Guide:

Enjoy.
