    Natural Language Statement

    Theorem

    An arbitrary finite execution of a fixed word-RAM program, using a word length polynomially bounded in the encoded input size, can be simulated by one finite multi-tape Turing machine. The Turing running time has fixed polynomial overhead in the encoded input size plus the number of executed RAM instructions.

    No regularity assumption is made on the RAM running time. A polynomial word length bound is retained because a Turing machine must explicitly process the bits of every RAM word.
