3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the main purpose of vertical micro-programming?
Think about the trade-offs between speed and memory.
Define cluster design in micro-programming.
Remember the balance between memory and speed.
What is vertical micro-programming primarily focused on?
Why would you encode signals? Think about memory usage.
In horizontal micro-programming, what can occur?
Remember the parallel nature of horizontal programming.
Given a system utilizing vertical micro-programming, discuss how the overall execution speed might impact system performance if many signals are needed simultaneously.
Consider how sequential operations stack up compared to parallel.
Imagine you are designing a micro-architecture. How would you decide on using vertical, horizontal, or cluster design based on the expected usage patterns of control signals?
Think about the trade-offs between memory use and execution time.
