This report surveys promising applications of microprogramming. Emphasis is on the value of microprogramming as a tool which permits computer users to modify the architecture of a general-purpose machine to better match a particular set of requirements. Factors are discussed which affect the choice of microprogramming over hardware and software in the design and implementation of computer-based systems. Actual and potential examples of its application are given to illustrate its relevance to the solution of implementation and performance problems. Finally, research and development tasks are proposed which lead to the realization of the benefits of this technology in operational systems.
