Abstract

Architectural advances and cost reductions in computer hardware have accelerated the demand for user support on the microprogram level. To service these demands, several approaches have been forwarded including the compilation from high level languages to microprogram object code [1,2,3]. Based upon the historical development of compilers, we can anticipate that microprogram compilers will eventually require object text optimization [4]. Microprograms operate some what differently from traditional assembly language programs. The microprogram language inherits many properties from the hardware architecture. A diversity of code formats has developed among available equipment. These properties have worked in opposition to unifying techniques for improving microprograms.
