Abstract

When first conceived by Wilkes and his Cambridge colleagues, the concepts of microprogramming were a valuable extension and formalization of the more heuristic, function-by-function, logic-process which had previously been used to design and implement computers using elementary electronic and logical components and circuits. As such, I have no quarrel either with the concept or its implementation.
