Microprogramming Investigation Proposal

This document outlines a proposal for investigating microprogramming techniques, particularly for potential implementation on the PDP-K. It argues that microprogramming is a powerful tool that offers flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability in processor design. The proposed initial study aims to develop a microprogram interpreter for the PDP-10, focusing on gaining experience with the technique rather than optimizing for efficiency. The investigation is expected to take a few man-months.
