Question:

Figure 7.21 shows an example of a microroutine in which bit-ORing is used to modify microinstruction addresses. Write an equivalent routine, without using bit-ORing, in which conditional branch microinstructions are used. How many additional microin- structions are needed? Assume that the conditional branch microinstructions can test some of the bits in the IR.
