LSI Applications.

Abstract

This report deals with the task of achieving an order of magnitude increase in execution speed of a set of computation-bound processes. This increase was achieved by augmenting the host processor with a peripheral microprogrammed device. Both of these machines were emulated in a hardware description language. The peripheral device is composed of three major units: Microprogrammed Control Unit (MCU), Arithmetic Processing Unit (APU), and Interface Control Unit (ICU). The structure and function of these individual units is examined in greater detail.
