摘要
微程序设计已经从一种系统地设计控制单元的方法发展到广泛应用于通用计算机指令集的设计、仿真、分析和实现。该应用程序通过IBM System 360的面向家庭的体系结构以及DEC PDP-11家族得到了极大的增强,最终达到了VAX家族的机器。今天,收缩、VLSI和VHSIC微架构要求增加集中的微可编程控制能力。然而,微编程一直是一项乏味、耗时、难以验证的工作,因此成本很高。本文介绍了一种新的快速成型固件(RPF)工具,它改善了大多数问题。
Microprogramming has progressed from a method for systematically designing control units to its wide-spread application to the design, emulation, analysis, and implementation of instruction sets for general-purpose computers. The application was greatly enhanced through the family-oriented architectures of the IBM System 360 and on into the DEC PDP-11 family, culminating in the VAX family of machines. Today, systolic, VLSI, and VHSIC microarchitectures are demanding increased centralized microprogrammable control capability. However, microprogramming has always been a tedious, time consuming, difficult to verify and, therefore, costly exercise. A new rapid prototyping firmware (RPF) tool is described which ameliorates most of the problems.
