  • Abstract
    This paper presents an approach for automatic synthesis of a microprogrammed control unit from a behavioral description, incorporating two new features: a) A rule based program to automatically design a microprogram sequencer most suited for the given behavior, considering the speed/cost requirements. b) A powerful microinstrunction format optimizer which considers a vast space of alternative formats and a novel encoding scheme.
