Abstract

This paper describes the micro-architecture of a microprogrammed workstation called MONADS-PC. The system has been specifically designed to support a very large uniform virtual memory, capability-based addressing and information hiding software modules with procedural interfaces. The paper gives a brief introduction to these topics followed by implementation details of the system.
