In processor design, microcode serves as an intermediary layer situated between the central processing unit (CPU) hardware and the programmer-visible...

Intel microcode is microcode that runs inside x86 processors made by Intel. Since the P6 microarchitecture introduced in the mid-1990s, the microcode programs...

CircuitMaker, TraxMaker and SimCode were originally developed by the Orem-based MicroCode Engineering, Inc. since 1988. CircuitMaker 5 for Windows 3.1, 9x and NT...

computers are built using "writable microcode" — rather than storing the microcode in ROM or hard-wired logic, the microcode is stored in a RAM called a writable...

provided to customers as a means of writing customized microcode. In the process of microcode assembly it is helpful to verify the microprogram with emulation...

sequence of simpler instructions. One reason for this was that architects (microcode writers) sometimes "over-designed" assembly language instructions, including...

even lower unit of processing known as microcode which interprets the machine code and it is then that the microcode instructions would be the genuine primitives...

Alto Hardware Manual by Xerox PARC. Alto uses a microcoded design, but unlike many computers, the microcode engine is not hidden from the programmer in a...

the complexity of computer circuits. Writing microcode is often called microprogramming and the microcode in a particular processor implementation is sometimes...

result of a more software-centric approach. Other enhancements included microcode instructions for the multiply and divide assembly language instructions...
