These preprints serve as a permanent record of the papers presented at the Fifth Annual Workshop on Microprogramming held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, September 25-26, 1972. The Workshop is the fifth in a series devoted to the state of the art in microprogramming.
Optimal selection of functional components for microprogrammable central processing units
A new approach to the optimal design of microprogrammable central processing units is presented. First, the program type concept is explained. The program types are a set of operations basic to the major programming areas. Next, a cost performance model ...
A microprogrammed implementation of a block structured architecture
This paper reports our current progress at SUNY/Buffalo in building an emulator for a block structured architecture. We briefly describe the overall research effort and the architecture of the target machine. We next discuss the mapping of the emulator ...
Microprogrammed implementation of computer measurement techniques
Microprogramming has been accepted as a valuable tool in several areas of system design. However, microprogramming has not generally been used as a tool for evaluating the performance of computer systems. This paper describes the implementation of ...
Ternary computers: part I: motivation for ternary computers
In the first part, motivation is presented for a study of Ternary Computers using emulation. Areas of interest and goals of evaluation are briefly outlined.In the second part, a representation of balanced ternary numbers is presented and examined. ...
