Abstract

This paper presents a design and implementation of a computer hardware for emulation using chip sliced microprocessors. The system has been built at Wright State University Computer Science Laboratory for instructional purposes. It provides an efficient interactive method for the execution of microcode in emulator development efforts. The system consists of two processing units, FAIRCHILD F-8 and INTEL 3000 bit slices, and two modules of RAM, one for the main memory having 8 bit words, the other for dynamic microprogram memory having 32 bit words.
