Abstract

See full text

An improved method and system for creating state machines in microcode. State machines are typically defined by a plurality having at least a combinations of current state, next state. Each one of the current states and next states are typically assigned unique values to distinguish them from other current states and next states, respectively. Upon an examination of the binary bit representations for the combinations, certain repetitive patterns become apparent between certain sections of the combinations. These recognized repetitive bit patterns are grouped and represented by linked lists and associated with one another to form the necessary relationship to define the represented combinations. Thus, saving memory and/or storage resources.
