MIC-1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MIC-1 is a processor architecture invented by Andrew S. Tanenbaum to use as a simple but complete example in his teaching book Structured Computer Organization.
It consists of a very simple control unit that runs microcode from a 512-words store.
The microcode language (MAL) is engineered to allow simple writing of an IJVM interpreter, and the source code for such an interpreter can be found in the book.
