We currently see many works which have been done in the microprogramming field, to facilitate and to improve algorithm implementations on existing microprogrammable structures. Very few of them were executed with a top down approach, though it seems to be an attractive possibility to implement algorithms on dedicated structures. In addition, the top down approach becomes now realistic with the advent of very large scale integration, and offers fruitful perspectives. In our paper, we describe a method using automata representations, permitting an efficient algorithm implementation on specific microprogrammed structures. An example is described to illustrate the method possibilities altogether.
