The system described allows the generation of microprograms in several stages. After a translation of its description in an appropriate Language one obtains an image of the microprogrammable structure. The microprogram is then introduced in algorithmic form, in a high-level language. Its compilation, in conjunction with the image of the wired structured, produces a sequence of elementary operations on which is carried out an optimization leading to an image of the control memory.The structure of the system allows to share the generation of the microprograms among two categories of designers: harware specialists who describe the micromachine, and algorithm specialists who actually implement the microprograms. Microprogramming may thus be facilited.
