BLITZ: Blitzen's micron-code assembly language design document, version 1. 0

The SIMD massively parallel machines typically require large volumes of micro-code to implement a normal instruction set as seen by a high-level language compiler. Most microcode languages for this class of machine are very terse and are therefore extremely error-prone and difficult to write. The BLITZ is a high-level C-like microcode language for the SIMD massively parallel architecture known as BLITZEN. This document is a design document that describes in detail the syntax and semantics of the BLITZ microcode language.
