Abstract

This paper presents a machine-independent address assignment program and its algorithm7 for horizontal microprograms. An address assignment operation is performed on a symbolic microprogram called a "standard sequence microprogram." Microprograms which need address assignment are translated to this standard sequence microprogram.The introduction of the standard sequence microprogram has made the address assignment tool applicable to various kinds of horizontal microprograms.
