A high-level microprogrammed processor

The paper presents a microprogrammable processor, intended for small real-time applications, and the development system associated with it. The processor, designed for an optimal execution of a structured high-level language, has only one level of language: a microcode allowing the execution of three operations in parallel. The possible parallelisms are detected by the compiler, which generates microcode directly. Two other tools are presented: an interactive microassembler and an interactive, window and mouse-driven, simulator. The integrated circuit for a first application is being carried out.<>
