Microprogramming support for the enhancement of operating system design is described in detail, organization structure of realtime operating systems are examined, and criteria proposed for determining which functions are best for firmware implementation. Also, a closed queueing network model with state dependent routing probabilities is developed for studying the impact of microprogramming on a tactical computer system performance. Based on measurement obtained from two applications, the mathematical model is a good approximation in predicting system performance. Avenues for additional research is recommended.
