Step Engineering of Sunnyvale, California, has recently introduced the Step-27, a new Development Station that addresses the problems of the advanced microcoder. It offers the following features unavailable in other machines:• Internal RAM with ten-nanosecond access time; the fastest Writable Control Store (WCS) available,• In-line assembler/disassembler,• Real-time emulation of 29116 and 2910,• Sixteen-level state machine, and• Array sizes up to 512 bits wide by 65K deep in either single or multiple array configurations.
STEP Development Tools (SDT) is a general-purpose microprogram development system. The METASTEP language system is composed of four tools of the SDT needed to write microprograms: a Definition Processor, a Retargetable Assembler, a Retargetable Cross-Assembler, and a Relocatable Linker.These tools are of commercial quality, providing complete languages, quality diagnostics, full interface to other support tools, and high performance. The language system supports microcode debug by providing complete run-time information and by interacting directly with other debug tools provided in SDT
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
