A microinstruction capable of specifying a limited number of simultaneous operations needed to carry out a machine language instruction. Note: Diagonal microinstructions fall, in size and functionality, between horizontal microinstructions and vertical microinstructions. The designation "diagonal" refers to this compromise rather than to any physical characteristic of the microinstruction.
Industry:Computer; Software
A microinstruction that specifies a set of simultaneous operations needed to carry out a given machine language instruction. Note : Horizontal microinstructions are relatively long, often 64 bits or more, and are called "horizontal" because the set of simultaneous operations that they specify are written on a single line, rather than being listed sequentially down the page.
Industry:Computer; Software
A microinstruction that specifies one of a sequenceof operations needed to carry out a machine language instruction. Note: Vertical microinstructions are relatively short, 12 to 24 bits, and are called "vertical" because a sequence of such instruction, normally listed vertically on a page, are required to carry out a single machine language instruction.
Industry:Computer; Software
A microprogrammed computer in which microprograms can be created or altered by the user.
Industry:Computer; Software
A microprogramming technique in which different microoperations are encoded as different values in the same field of a microinstruction.
Industry:Computer; Software
A microprogramming technique in which different microoperations may be encoded identically into the same field of a microinstruction, and the one that is executed depends upon the value in another field internal or external to the microinstruction.
Industry:Computer; Software
A microprogramming technique in which the meaning of a field in a microinstruction depends on the value in an auxiliary register.
Industry:Computer; Software
A microprogramming technique in which the meaning of a field in a microinstruction is dependent on the value of another field in the microinstruction.
Industry:Computer; Software
A microprogramming technique in which the meaning of a field in a microinstruction is dependent on the value of another field in the microinstruction.
Industry:Computer; Software
A mode of operation in which two or more computer programs are executed in an interleaved manner by a single processing unit.
