Abstract
A case is often made for a greater emphasis on microprogramming techniques at an undergraduate level, particularly in view of the ephemeral nature of fixed instruction set microprocessors. However, the basic principles involved in the design of modern computing machines may be more clearly understood when considered in terms of bit-slice microprocessors. The success of this teaching approach is heavily dependent on the nature of the teaching aids available to the student for the execution of microprogramming exercises. A minicomputer-based interactive digital system simulator is described with a suite of routines for the modelling of a comprehensive range of bit and word processing logic elements and includes models of devices from a widely available bit-slice component family.
