Abstract
A microcode addressing system is shown which has two modes of operation for different memory search functions. The first mode, the Slow mode in which the memory operates at a standard read rate, is the mode in which the computer central processing unit performs predetermined sequential tasks in a normal fashion. The second mode of operation is the Fast mode of operation in which the memory responds to unpredetermined, dynamically changing events in the computer system at a faster than standard cycle time in order to search for and identify a particular word in central memory.
