Functional Program Modules (FPMs) and Digital Systems Design,

Abstract

Design of digital electronic systems for a range of applications such as the functions of small ships requires a unified approach which does not make a priori choices between hardware and software. Throughout the several levels of digital system structure, the design procedure is protrayed as a task of preparing a program and translating the program into successively different languages. One language is the language of Functional Program Modules. These modules are versatile, effective, program control and operative modules which can easily be configured (programmed) and can be used with methods which automatically produce assembly and maintenance information. Examples, extensions and applications of FPMs are discussed. (Author)
