Data processing with microcode designed with source coding

DWPI Title: Method of providing programming for data processor to execute data processing application, involves assembling microcode source code with processor, to produce microcode including digital instructions for storage in instruction table
Abstract: Programming for a data processor to execute a data processing application is provided using microcode source code. The microcode source code is assembled to produce microcode that includes digital microcode instructions with which to signal the data processor to execute the data processing application.
Use: Method of providing programming for data processor to execute data processing application.
Advantage: The process efficiency can be improved, since the microcode source code is assembled with processor, to produce microcode including digital instructions for storage in instruction table.
Novelty: The method involves receiving microcode source code that defines fields used by a microcode assembler to implement user-defined microcode instructions. The microcode source code is assembled with a processor based on fields defined in microcode source code, to produce microcode including digital microcode instructions for storage in a microcode instruction table to execute digital microcode instructions for user-defined microcode instructions from table during execution of data processing application.
