Abstract

Some elements of ALGOL-like languages consume much computer time, if they are coded on the machine instruction level. The examples of this paper show that this time and the number of program steps can be drastically reduced by microprogramming and suitable hardware processor structures. Furthermore it seems to be reasonable and possible to translate HLL-programs to microprograms avoiding the machine instruction level. The language MIMOLA is used for the documentation of the microprograms and for the top-down design of the hardware structures. An example structure is given.
