The aim of this research is to improve the efficiency of Control Units by transfering the management of Disk Drivers into peripheral sub-processors. Synchronization between these sub-processors is performed by a microprogrammed Control Unit. Microprogramming is necessary to allow modifications of the scheduling algorithm and simplifies the hardware structure. Here in we present microprogramming and hardware architecture which have been designed to manage the communication between several sub-processors, by way of a single Control Storage.
