Abstract

A dynamically microprogrammable processor called MATHILDA is described.MATHILDA has been designed to be used as a tool in interpreter and processor design research. It has a very general microinstruction sequencing scheme, sophisticated masking and shifting capability, high speed local storage, a 64-bit wide main data path, a partially encoded microinstruction, and other features which make it reasonably well suited for this purpose. Also, hardware modification is relatively easily undertaken to enhance the experimental nature of the machine.
