45-bit computing
In computer architecture, 45-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 45 bits wide. Also, 45-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.

Examples
Computers designed with 45-bit words are quite rare. One 45-bit computer was the Soviet Almaz ("Diamond") computer.[1]
