Abstract
Several microinstruction formats which utilize hybrid combinations of horizontal and vertical formats are described. The microinstruction plus nanoinstruction format of two machines is described, and the existing nanocode of the Nanodata QM-1 is statistically analyzed. This analysis shows that the present encoding of these instructions is optimal for the flexible machine architecture.

Considerations for local compaction of nanocode for the nanodata QM-1
Much work has been done recently on the problem of compaction of microcode, that of detecting parallelism between microoperations expressed in a sequential manner in order to pack the operations into as few microinstructions as possible. In particular, ...
