Abstract
A fixed entry-point map to produce an entry point address of a first micro-instruction for a particular macro-instruction. That address is then incremented by a fixed number to produce the second, third, etc. micro-instructions for that macro-instruction. In a first embodiment, after a fixed number of these address skips, the addresses are incremented by 1 so that successive micro-instructions are in adjacent address locations. In a second embodiment, the number of skips is variable.
