This paper discusses the important problem of the adaptation and the personalization of VLSI-based computer systems by means of microprogramming. In order to fully exploit the VLSI chip with one million transistors on it, we propose the scheme of mass-producing the general purpose devices and then specializing them to particular application needs at the instruction set processor level and at upper levels of the computer systems. Many algorithms and examples are given. We show what facilities future computer systems should possess in the course of discussion.
