USING THE ADDRESS LANGUAGE TO AUTOMATE SYNTHESIS OF DIGITAL COMPUTERS

Abstract : One of the possible methods of automating the synthesis of the symbolic circuit of digital computers on the basis of a specified system of instructions is considered. An algorithm (A) for transition from the recording of computer instructions in the address language to a symbolic circuit in the form of a system of logic equations is proposed. The starting premise for constructing A is the condition of the performance of all the instructions by a single device. A applies to the construction of the symbolic circuits of computers for which the following starting characteristics are specified: number of memory elements, capacity of each memory element and method of access; method of presentation of numbers, format of numbers; addressability; method of presentation of modified instructions; system of instructions; principle of organization of the time flowchart; duration of every operation, expressed in conditional units. The operation of A is illustrated by describing the synthesis of an elementary computational system. (Author)
