Abstract
Processor logic gates are used to modify microcode instructions, while they are being executed. The results of previous operations are used by the hardware to modify subsequent instructions in a microcode routine. This gives the effect of branching and also reduces the number of instructions that are executed. Different examples and embodiments are also discussed.
