What does a micro-program contain?
Think about the role micro-instructions play in executing larger instructions.
What is the purpose of a micro-program counter?
Consider how a counter helps manage sequences.
What is the primary function of the micro-programmed control unit?
Refer back to the definition of micro-programmed control units.
True or False: The micro-program counter only increments under normal circumstances.
Consider when the MPC might not move to the next instruction.
Design a hypothetical micro-progam sequence that handles a conditional branch depending on whether a specific flag is set. What assumptions are you making?
Consider how existing flags might affect subsequent instructions.
Explain how a poorly organized micro-program memory could lead to inefficiencies. Propose a restructuring to resolve these issues.
Look at existing organization and think of how a more dynamic approach might mitigate problems.
