Abstract

The user microprogrammable computer as the fourth generation computer is investigated from the user's point of view. In the first part of the paper microprogramming and its concept as well as the problems and requirements incurring its use in various applications are discussed. The current status of the microprogrammed computer is also studied to indicate the differences of philosophy in microprogramming. A number of suggestions are made for the design of fourth generation user-microprogrammable computers.
