Abstract
A final effective address of an operand is generated in a microprogrammed data processing system by use of a base address register which may include an unindexed address, an index register which may include an index address value, an instruction register which may include an instruction word, which instruction word provides control over the addressing of a control store dependent upon the state of a selected one of a plurality of test conditions. The addressed control store word provides signals for controlling the operation of the system, including the branching between such major operations as instruction fetching, addressing, reading, writing, and execution as well as branching between minor operations which are included in the major operations.
