Macro Function Language Hardware Manual

This report examines the hardware interface required for an efficient implementation of the Macro Function Language (MFL). Traditionally, computer systems were developed by designing hardware, then writing microcode, assembly language, and on up to a common programing language such as ADA or Pascal. This emphasis on hardware was due to the relative high cost of hardware. In the current state of the art, software costs are far greater than hardware over the life of a signal processor. Because of this, the MFL attempts to standardize the software interface to hardware. This interface will standardize the software between signal processors designed to run MFL down to the microcode level....
