Figure 1, Unconditional Branching

[Matthew-McRaven]

Create a microprogram fragment that uses several different pre-conditions to demonstrate the effects of unconditional branching.

The examples should demonstrate the following behaviors:

• "Falling through" to the next line.
• Explicitly goto the next.
• Unconditional branch backwards.
• Interweave multiple instructions through unconditional branching, as this is done in multiple places in the microcoded implementation.
• "Jump" over several instructions.

[Matthew-McRaven]

• "Falling through" to the next line - achieved in fig-1-01
• Explicitly goto the next - achieved in fig-1-01.
• "Jump" over several instructions - achieved in fig-1-02.
• Unconditional branch backwards - achieved in fig-1-03.
• Interweave multiple instructions through unconditional branching, as this is done in multiple places in the microcoded implementation - achieved in fig-1-03.
