Extended microcode error checking on a pipelined machine
L. A. Kovacs, S. F. Gilli · ACM SIGMICRO newsletter/SIGMICRO newsletter/SIGMICRO, TCMICRO newsletter · 1989
In a pipelined computer, there is a possibility of interaction between microwords. These interactions may cause the operation of the computer to slow down, or they may cause errors. An extended error checking tool is used to detect these cases and help the microcode be more correct and more efficient.
