In this paper a firmware monitor is presented as a support tool for the first and fourth step.\u0000 The application environment for this monitor is a PDP-11/60 with writable control store running the UNIX operating system. Based upon a UNIX system model the requirements for the monitor are defined in terms of objects and their parameters to be measured. Afterwards the hierarchical structure and the components of the firmware monitor are presented. Furthermore the monitor handling and its influence on the operating system are discussed.","PeriodicalId":134922,"journal":{"name":"MICRO 15","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124865274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instructions must be rearranged and consolidated to minimize periods during which the functional units remain idle or perform unnecessary tasks. Register conflicts and branches cause complications. Deterministic algorithms to arrange instructions traditionally use complex heuristics which are tailored to specific inputs. A non-deterministic approach can be simpler and effective on a large class of inputs. This is a progress report on the “Monte Carlo” optimizer under construction at Cornell University by the authors. This optimizer randomly modifies the text of an APAL program without changing its meaning. Modifications which improve the program are favored. A set of six elementary transformations are the basis for modifications.","PeriodicalId":134922,"journal":{"name":"MICRO 15","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132543945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accelerators are defacto extensions to the basic architecture and are normally only defined on a subset of the processor line. These architectural extensions consist of functions migrated from “above” the generalized architecture (i.e. software functions) into the processor architecture and processor implementation.\u0000 The accelerators provide a method of improving system performance that is complementary to improving performance through modification of the generalized processor architecture itself or the underlying circuitry implementation.","PeriodicalId":134922,"journal":{"name":"MICRO 15","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128428711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An algorithm for processing branch delays has been implemented and we give empirical results. The performance data show that a reasonable percentage of these delays can be avoided.","PeriodicalId":134922,"journal":{"name":"MICRO 15","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130813624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structure consists of a PLA sequencer store, a microcode store (memory) and an address processor. The latter, operating under sequencing commands issued by the PLA, generates the effective address for both stores. The supporting firmware primitives or transactions, stored in PLA, are suitable for structured microprogramming constructs, e.g., while-do, if-then-else, etc. This capability is extended to complex sequencing structures which are then implemented by context-free transaction blocks. Such sequencing is required to achieve migration of complicated. software functions, such as operating systems, in firmware. It is expected that the proposed method is compatible with LSI/VLSI array technology.","PeriodicalId":134922,"journal":{"name":"MICRO 15","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115715734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system was developed to overcome some of the deficiencies of meta-assemblers, namely, one-to-one meaning of symbols vs. action, lack of rigorous syntax verification, and lack of application specific error messages. The system is explained by way of a specific example about the sequencer portion of a hypothetical microword.\u0000 Microcoding is slowly loosing its status as an artform. Many of the tools available for increasing the productivity of software engineers are now starting to become available for the generation of microcode. There is work being done on machine independent microcoding languages, microcode generators, and microcode optimizers to name but a few such tools. However, many of these tools are still in the developmental stages. At Data General, our current microcode production system took the approach of leaving the optimization in the hands of the coder, but giving him the capability of building a very friendly interface to the hardware.\u0000 The system is called UDSYS and this paper presents an overview of some of its major concepts and features.","PeriodicalId":134922,"journal":{"name":"MICRO 15","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121898348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
