| | Microprogram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some vertical microcodes are just the assembly language of a simple conventional computer that is emulating a more complex computer. | | | After the microprogram is finalized, and extensively tested, it is sometimes used as the input to a computer program that constructs logic to produce the same data. | | | As of the early 2000s, CPUs no longer use vertical microcode except perhaps in emulator software designed to run on a standard computer. |

| | HP Personal Calculator Digest -- Microcode |
| | The development of microcode in Hewlett-Packard personal calculators began with the development developments of the microprocessor in the HP-35--and not coincidentally, since both were developed by the same Hewlett-Packard engineer. | | | The resulting microcode language most closely resembles machine language, which is programming at as most basic level. | | | Once the microcode is completed on the computer, it is transferred to an E-ROM (erasable read only-memory) simulator for further debugging (See photo.). |

| | microcode - Definition of microcode by Webster's Online Dictionary |
| | microcode - A technique for implementing the instruction set of a processor as a sequence of microcode instructions ("microinstructions"), each of which typically consists of a (large) number of bit fields and the address of the next microinstruction to execute. | | | microcode - (computer science) coded instructions that are stored permanently in read-only memory | | | The microcode may also be responsible for polling for hardware interrupts between each macroinstruction. |

| | Description of the Microcode Update Device |
| | The Microcode Update device is an interface between the operating system and an Intel processor based on the x86 architecture. | | | If the microcode on your computer is current, the drivers are unloaded by design. | | | If the computer that you are using does not contain the processor described in the "Summary" section of this article, or if your BIOS is up to date with Intel's latest microcode, the Microcode Update device is not initiated; the device is unloaded to free up resources. |

| | Expert About mi:Microcode |
| | Microcode is the result of "microprogramming" work and is really the content of a CPU's "writeable control store" (WCS) memory, which can either be a small ROM or a PLA (which is a logic array with a collapsed number of states, kinda a minimized ROM that takes less gates/area. | | | a) without microcode all operations are done "in hardware", i. | | | As memory speeds up, the microcode needs to get more done in parallel, so a redesign of inner CPU architecture might start using wider microinstructions with more work getting done each microcycle. |

| | Lawrence Wilkinson's IBM 360/30 Saga. |
| | A given microcode word specified only the top 6 bits of the next instruction's address within the current page, the bottom 2 bits were determined by two separate function codes, giving each instruction up to 4 possible successors (the function codes included force 0 and force 1 where no branch was needed). | | | Above the core was the microcode storage, known as CCROS (card-capacitor read only storage), in which microcode was stored on punched cards, sandwiched statically between circuit boards. | | | It was almost as complicated as the computer itself, having its own microcode, and an interface for each of the four drives. |

| | sandpile.org -- microcode update feature |
| | Often writing microcode resembles programming a parallel computer, as each of the microcode instructions is supposed to make use of the microprocessor's units as effectively, as possible. | | | The difference to the hard-wired and simple instructions is, that a hard-wired microcode is generated based on some sort of a program. | | | A nice side effect of being able to update microcode is, that you may be able to enhance the existing functionality, optimize it, or even add completely new functionality, as permitted by the existing microprocessor hardware. |

| | An additional benefit lies in the fact that the set instruction (which initiates reconfiguration microcode) can be scheduled well ahead of the execute instruction (which initiates execution microcode) and thereby hiding the reconfiguration latency of the hardware. | | | I.e., the new instructions do not specify the operation that needs to be performed, instead by executing the reconfigurable microcode the needed setting of and execution on the reconfigurable hardware is being performed. | | | Subsequently, hardware implementations of such pieces of code are mapped to reconfigurable hardware by writing high-level VHDL code. |
