Abstract
This paper reports on the functional evaluation of the three 16-bit microprocessors, namely the Intel 8086, the Zilog Z8000, and the Motorola MC68000. These microprocessors were employed in several CRT applications, both monochrome and color. Execution time benchmark tests were made, mechanization problems compared and instruction/architectural characteristics highlighted. Conclusions and recommendations are made applicable to terminals and similar Sperry Univac products.

Dynamic coalescing for 16-bit instructions
In the embedded domain, memory usage and energy consumption are critical constraints.Embedded processors such as the ARM and MIPS provide a 16-bit instruction set, (called Thumb in the case of the ARM family of processors), in addition to the 32-bit ...
Enhancing the performance of 16-bit code using augmenting instructions
Special Issue: Proceedings of the 2003 ACM SIGPLAN conference on Language, compiler, and tool support for embedded systems (San Diego, CA).In the embedded domain, memory usage and energy consumption are critical constraints. Dual width instruction set embedded processors such as the ARM provide a 16-bit instruction set in addition to the 32-bit instruction set to address these concerns. ...
