Record 4 1997-08-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computers and Calculators
CONT

Pipelining is employed to obtain faster microprocessor configurations. With the addition of an n-bit register at the output of microprogram memory, the microprocessor can be operated in what is called the pipeline mode. Based on the status of the various addresses, instruction and control busses the master clock is halted at an arbitrary location in the program for both serial and pipeline configurations.

Key term(s)
  • pipeline mode

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ordinateurs et calculateurs
DEF

Utilisation d'un traitement en pipeline.

Record 7 1985-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

A ROM and counter form the basis for execution control logic.... This technique is called microprogram control, since the contents of the ROM control the sequence of operations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
CONT

La méthode des microprogrammes de contrôle est particulièrement efficace pour le diagnostic des pannes. Cette méthode, applicable aux calculateurs ayant des opérateurs de commande microprogrammés (...) consiste à exécuter des microprogrammes de contrôle au niveau de chaque organe d'un calculateur et à localiser les pannes au niveau du composant par analyse du comportement des organes qui sont en panne.
