Description

ABSTRACT:
A computer system uses microcode subroutines to execute complex macroinstructions. Each macroinstruction is used to index a table. Simple macroinstructions have a single microinstruction counterpart in the table, and such microinstruction is performed directly in order to execute that macroinstruction. The table entry corresponding to more complex macroinstructions is a jump microinstruction, with the target of the microcode jump being an appropriate subroutine in microcode memory.
