Abstract

The design of a Pascal based microprogramming language is described. It is a Pascal dialect adapted to the task of microprogramming a highly pipelined, horizontal micro-architecture. The nature of high level microprogramming languages, data and control structures, and the effect of a microprogramming environment on language and translator development are discussed. Certain complexities of horizontal micro-architectures are outlined.
