“…One approach taken by Ramamoorthy, et al [16], argues that in order for a microprogrammer (who uses a HLMPL with ECC) to write efficient microcode that will take optimal advantage of any degree of parallelism or machine dependent features of a particular machine, he must be well versed in its intricate features as described by its micro-operations.…”

“…To service these demands, several approaches have been forwarded including the compilation from high level languages to microprogram object code , 2,3]. Based upon the historical development of compilers, we can anticipate that microprogram compilers will eventually require object text optimization [4].…”

This paper discusses an algorithm for optimizing the density and parallelism of microcoded routines in microprogrammable machines.Besides the algorithm itself, the algorithm's uses, adaptability to conventional machine characteristics, and architectural requirements are also discussed and analyzed. Even though the paper proposes a hardware implementation of the algorithm, the algorithm is viewed as an integral part of the entire microcode generation and usage process, from initial high-level input into a software microcode compiler down to machine-level execution of the resultant microcode on the host machine. It is believed that, by removing much of the traditionally time-consuming and machinedependent microcode optimization from the software portion of this process, the algorithm can improve the overall process.
