The problem we have been concerned with is that of converting language to action—or intellectual energy to mechanical energy. The medium that we use for this purpose is language and therefore we are ...

This is an HTML/Javascript CPU simulator and assembler for the CPU I designed. Originally, I created this CPU on paper many years ago for a homework assignment in college. More recently, I implemented ...

Point2 Technology announced its P1B121 Smart Retimer system-on-chip (SoC) for Active Electrical Cable (AEC) applications in AI/ML data centers. The chip integrates eight unidirectional SerDes channels ...

Microprogramming, once a niche concept confined to hardware design, is experiencing a resurgence of interest. While it’s not entirely “new,” its potential to revolutionize software development is just ...

You can specify nonlinearity in parts per million or, especially for RF components, in terms of the 1-dB compression point or third-order intercept point. A recent series on intermodulation described ...

Abstract: This paper describes a successful project using computer animation to teach the concepts of microprogramming to lower division computer science majors. The students write a simulator for the ...

1. “Aim High” Target Board: Create a bulletin board with a large target in the center and each student’s name written on a separate arrow. Encourage students to set goals for the school year and track ...

My research spans Education and Computer Science and recently much of it is applied within TAP schools and outreach activities. It follows the paradigms of action, and design based, research with a ...

Abstract: Vertical microprogramming (or, as others say, functional microprogramming or firmware) was introduced in contrast with Wilkes' microprogramming (generally called horizontal or structural ...
