Abstract
This paper presents a bit optimization procedure based on the bit steering concept. A relation R, called companion relation, has been defined over the fields in a microinstruction, and the reflexive-transitive closure R ∗ of this relation has been used for examining the microinstructions of a microprogram for possible bit dimension reduction. An algorithm that computes R ∗ and attempts bit reduction on a given microprogram has been presented. The algorithm (implemented on DEC-10) when input with the sample microprogram has been found to yield further bit reduction over and above the earlier reported reductions.
