Microprogrammed State Machine Design (Hardcover)

Microprogrammed State Machine Design is a digital computer architecture text that builds systematically from basic concepts to complex state-machine design. It provides practical techniques and alternatives for designing solutions to data processing problems both in commerce and in research purposes. It offers an excellent introduction to the tools and elements of design used in microprogrammed state machines, and incoporates the necessary background in number systems, hardware building blocks, assemblers for use in preparing control programs, and tools and components for assemblers .

The author conducts an in-depth examination of first- and second-level microprogrammed state machines. He promotes a top-down approach that examines algorithms mathematically to exploit the simplifications resulting from choosing the proper representation and application of algebraic manipulation. The steps involved in the cycle of design and simulation steps are demonstrated through an example of running a computer through a simulation.

Other topics covered in Microprogrammed State Machine Design include a discussion of simulation methods, the development and use of assembler language processors, and comparisons among various hardware implementations, such as the Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) and the Digital Signal Processor (DSP).

As a text and guide, Microprogrammed State Machine Design will interest students in the computer sciences, computer architectects and engineers, systems programmers and analysts, and electrical engineers.

《微程式狀態機設計》是一本數位電腦架構的專書，從基本概念到複雜的狀態機設計系統地進行介紹。它提供了實用的技巧和設計解決數據處理問題的替代方案，無論是在商業還是研究目的上。本書對微程式狀態機設計中使用的工具和設計元素提供了出色的介紹，並融入了數字系統、硬體構建模塊、用於準備控制程序的組合語言編譯器以及組合語言編譯器的工具和組件所需的背景知識。

作者對一級和二級微程式狀態機進行了深入研究。他提倡一種自上而下的方法，通過數學方式檢查算法，以利用選擇適當表示和代數操作應用所產生的簡化。通過模擬運行計算機的示例，演示了設計和模擬步驟的過程。

《微程式狀態機設計》還涵蓋了模擬方法的討論、組合語言處理器的開發和使用，以及各種硬體實現（如精簡指令集計算機（RISC）和數字信號處理器（DSP））之間的比較。

作為一本教材和指南，《微程式狀態機設計》將吸引計算機科學、計算機架構師和工程師、系統程序員和分析師以及電氣工程師的學生。
