This paper will demonstrate how microprogramming affects the FFT. An interactive simulator is used to draw comparisons between an assembler FFT, a microprogrammed FFT, and a microprogrammed FFT with a hard-wired multiply. The FFT is analyzed in detail and the bottlenecks involved with microprogramming are graphically displayed.
