5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the primary function of the micro-program counter?
Think about what a counter does in a sequence.
What does a control function field contain?
Consider what acts as 'commands' in instruction flow.
What is an essential component in micro-program control responsible for managing signal flow?
Think about what part of a system keeps track of locations.
True or False: Horizontal micro-program control is memory efficient.
Remember the definition of 'sparse' memory.
Design a micro-program control sequence that fetches an instruction, checks a condition, and decides whether to jump or increment the address based on that condition. Describe each step clearly.
Outline the sequence step by step, considering the signals to be activated.
Using a horizontal micro-program control, calculate the efficiency of memory usage when managing 32 control signals if 20% of the bits are utilized.
Consider how many bits are actually in use versus what is available.
