| Abstract | A two-level control store can reduce storage requirements of microprograms without affecting microprogrammability, which is important for a processor programmed directly in microcode. This paper presents a case study investigating how to use a two-level control store effectively. The study is based on Warp cell, a high-performance, microprogrammable processor used in a systolic array computer called Warp. Warp cell is programmed directly in microcode by an optimizing compiler and uses wide horizontal microinstructions with over 200 bits.Two methods which can increase the effectiveness of using a two-level control store have been considered. First, control store configuration can be adjusted so that the storage of an instruction can be partitioned among microstore and one or more nanostores to maximize storage efficiency. Second, it is possible to increase storage reduction of microprograms by exploiting insignificant and symmetric fields in instructions in mapping microprograms to the control store. It has been found that the average storage reduction for Warp cell programs can be increased from 41% in a straightforward two-level control store implementation to 72% by using these methods. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
