Some possibilities offered by microprogramming in the realization of computer systems implemented according to several architectures are investigated in this paper. The serial and the classical parallel (SISD, SIMD, multiprocessors) organizations are considered together with some approaches to the realization of modern distributed systems (local networks, Logic Machines, Configurable Computers). The microprogramming possibilities are examined by taking into account the type of microinstruction encoding (vertical vs. horizontal), the opportunity for dynamic microprogramming and the Control Part-Operation Part model, and by evaluating the influence of these factors on the optimization of some design parameters.

Abstract
Some possibilities offered by microprogramming in the realization of computer systems implemented according to several architectures are investigated in this paper. The serial and the classical parallel (SISD, SIMD, multiprocessors) organizations are considered together with some approaches to the realization of modern distributed systems (local networks, Logic Machines, Configurable Computers). The microprogramming possibilities are examined by taking into account the type of microinstruction encoding (vertical vs. horizontal), the opportunity for dynamic microprogramming and the Control Part-Operation Part model, and by evaluating the influence of these factors on the optimization of some design parameters.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
