چکیده
In the 1970s a need arose to perform special arithmetic operations on minicomputers much more quickly than had been possible in the past. This paper tells the story of why micro programming was needed for special arithmetic operations on mini computers in the 1970s and how it was implemented. The paper tells how the laboratory in which the first experiment took place had a PDP-9 minicomputer from Digital Equipment Corporation and how the author, with several colleagues, after attending a course for the technical service of a PDP-9 given by a specialist from Digital Equipment, knew exactly which signals flew through the machine at any time. The paper describes how by having ‘programmable’ control memory they were able to make changes in the execution of instructions.

Using explanations for design patterns identification
Design patterns describe micro-architectures that solve recurrent architectural problems in objectoriented programming languages. It is important to identify these micro-architectures during the maintenance of object-oriented programs. But these micro-architectures often appear distorted in the source code. We present an application of explanation-based constraint programming for identifying th...
متن کاملA mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the evaluation of CHP system in the context of hospital structures
In this paper an optimal planning method is proposed for sizing a cogeneration plant to be installed within a public/commercial micro-grid. The optimization tool is based on a mixed integer linear programming model which uses a set of experimental input data in terms of both thermal and electric power consumption for determining the annual operational strategy, able to reach a twofold objective...

متن کاملμsik – A Micro-Kernel for Parallel/Distributed Simulation
We present a novel micro-kernel approach to parallel/distributed simulation. Using the micro-kernel approach, we develop a unified architecture for incorporating multiple types of simulation processes. The processes hold potential to employ a variety of synchronization mechanisms, and could alter their choice of mechanism dynamically. Supported mechanisms include traditional lookahead-based con...
