From what I read from time to time, it's not going
to be long before those
software tools determine the optimal hardware configuration,
hardware/software
interface, and then compile your application, including all the optimal
hardware characteristics and configure your hardware to assume that
configuration.
I don't know what that does to multitasting.

Thanks for the introduction, again learned something... :-)
Well, all microcode I've written was in binary but
it was only
as an exercise. Today it's easier to grab some GAL or FPGA,
write some VHDL or Verilog and let the tools do the rest.

You think
of a specific Microcode-Machine with a well
defined Microcode-Language and probably very sophisticated
tools.
You mean you don't just write the microcode in binary :-)... (Seriously,
I have done this once...)
