Abstract

This paper proposes a machine in dependent automatic microcode generation system using a microtnstruction description language, MDL. The MDL, which has similar structure to C language, is a high-level microarchitecture description language. It defines the hardwaer elements and the operand selection of microoperartions. The proposed system generates microcode automatically by describing the structure information of a target microarchitectuer and accepting thebehavioral information of microoperations which are generated ad a intermediate language from HLML-C. This proposed system is implemented with C language and YACC on a SUN workstation (4.3 BSD).
