Abstract
This paper describes a technique of global optimization of microprograms including loops and recursive subroutines. This technique can be applied to a wide variety of microprogrammable machines. The principle of global optimization, four basic types of global optimization, and extended types of global optimization are discussed and the optimization algorithm is shown. Its effectiveness is evaluated and confirmed by applying it to an existing microprogrammable computer composed of LSI processor modules.Keywords
