Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe an experimental senior/graduate-level seminar on "Microprogramming and Emulation" which was offered during the 1974 Spring Semester at the University of Delaware. The stated a priori objective of the course was:"To study the current "state-of-the-art" of microprogramming and microprogrammable machines, to look at where microprogramming is going and why; to develop tools for characterizing tasks and for designing architectures appropriate for a particular task such as emulation."
