Abstract
  • The purpose of this research is to develop methods to translate a certain machine independent intermediate language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a high level microprogramming language used to implement a microprogrammed interpreter. An IML-host machine interface design that allows easy modification for language portability should be a primary objective; i.e., the interface design must be of sufficient power and versatility to generate efficient code for a variety of host machines. Transportability is accomplished by the use of a Field Description Model (FDM) and Macro Table which are used to describe the most machine to the translator system. A register allocation scheme and control flow analysis are employed to allocate the symbolic variables of the IML to the general purpose registers of the host machine. Again, with the aid of the FDM, a set of 5-tuple microoperations (MOP: OP, I/O, field, phase) is obtained. Then an optimization algorithm is used to detect the parallelism of MOPs, and generate efficient code for a horizontal microprogrammable machine. This research terminated with a study of the effects of the above methods upon the quality of microcode produced for a specific commercial computer.
