A microprogramming simulator for instructional use
James R. Parker, Katrin Becker · 1984
The teaching of computer architecture at a low level is made difficult by the complexity of the real systems which are used as examples and tools. This paper describes a processor simulation system which is intended for use at the second and third year undergraduate level for teaching techniques and concepts in the implementation of instruction sets and microprogramming. The important features of this system are in the user interface, and not necessarily in the actual processor which is simulated.
