Abstract

Achieving maximum performance through migration of functions from software to microcode requires rethinking the linkage editing process. An object-oriented model of naming and binding clarifies the alternative abstractions available in naming and linking across the macro-micro machine boundary. Alternative abstractions for sharing micro-objects and for dynamic use of micro-objects are presented and their implementations discussed. The conclusions are based on actual implementations.
