Parallel microprogramming as a tool for multi-microprocessor systems

Abstract

The proposed architecture design methods for problem-oriented microprocessor systems are based on the parallel type algorithmic system parallel substitution algorithms. Algorithm representation in the form of a parallel substitution system has allowed the creation of a series of formal procedures and software tools for architecture design of complicated multimicroprocessor systems. A distinguishing feature of the approach outlined is that the distributed algorithm implemented in the system is of primary importance for the system structure. Thus, design starts from the creation and debugging of an algorithmic description (parallel microprogram) and following that logical and engineering design is carried out. To implement the structural scheme both custom VLSI chips and serial microprocessor set chips may be used.
