A hardware approach to the design of data driven computers using a microprogrammed processor as a building block is proposed. The data driven computer is a network of processors virtually implementing the data flow program graph. The flexibility of ...

The AIMER project (Automatic Integration of Multiple Element Radars) is an emulated model of a loosely coupled distributed radar tracking processor. The computational elements of the model are minicomputers similar to the PDP-11. Design goals of the ...

This paper presents a solution to the problem of an inadequate microprogram testbed facility for the Prime 400 system, but more importantly, defines typical problems resulting from lack of good microprogram developement software in the university ...

In earlier work on anticipation and prompting systems for programming languages it was recognized that a more formal approach to development of such interactions with programmers at display terminals was needed. It was observed that the bulk of the data ...

This paper presents a system for parallel operation of functional units in a processor that is under microprogram control. Specifically, for a multiple functional unit computer this new technique allows concurrent operation of the functional units ...

The Emulation Aid SYstem is a virtual machine monitor for the Nanodata QM-1 microprogrammable computer. The system is designed to provide the user with an interactive interface for the development and subsequent use of emulations on the QM-1. EASY ...

M³ is intended for research into unconventional special purpose stored program elements of computer systems (for example, a distributed computer Bus Interface Unit). The principal requirements for such a machine are flexibility and modularity. M³ ...

A scheme is presented for external subroutine calls which makes it possible to have microprogrammed subroutines and to allow subroutines written in different languages. The languages may be compiled to different Directly Executed Languages (DELs) ...

The STRUCT system utilizes the flexibility of a powerful graphics display system to provide a set of tools for program analysis. These tools allow the analysis of the static prograin structure and the dynamic execution behavior. of programs within the ...

Microprogramming commonly executed operations can improve the computational speed of data processing systems. This paper describes how microprogramming may be used to execute directly the intermediate text generated by a high-level language compiler ...

The aim of this paper is to try and describe a new technique for implementing microprograms to form a dynamic interpretor of macro-languages. It demonstrates the connexion between the control address mechanism in micro-instruction and the structure of a ...

Methods for organizing computer systems are described. The goal of these methods is to produce systems which are easier to learn and use, both for the novice and the advanced user. A system utilizing these methods is being developed at Brown; This ...

This paper discusses the architecture of the FCPU (Flexible Central Processing Unit) developed by the Datasaab sector of Saab-Scania AB. This medium-scale asynchronous microprocessor is capable of efficiently emulating a wide variety of past, ...

A coordinated research effort in the area of interactive computer graphics using a host-satellite configuration is described. Central to the project is the use of a high-level programming language and two microprogrammable processors. The system as a ...

This paper describes the high level microprogramming language (ML) used in microprogramming the FCPU (Flexible Central Processing Unit) developed by the Datasaab sector of Saab-Scania AB. The background of the use of machine dependent high level ...
