What is horizontal microprogramming?
Focus on the 'parallel' aspect.
What is the primary limitation of horizontal microprogramming?
Remember the trade-offs between speed and memory.
True or False: Vertical microprogramming allows for multiple signals to be active simultaneously.
Focus on the characteristics of signal activation.
Given a hypothetical CPU with 8 temporary registers and 16 ALU functions, estimate the number of signals needed in a hybrid microprogram model and justify.
Consider how many functions can be executed at the same time.
Analyze the implications of using exclusively horizontal microprogramming over a hybrid approach. Discuss performance and memory aspects.
