26. Execution of Macro Instructions

This chapter discusses the execution of macro instructions through micro instructions, focusing on the optimization of micro routines for similar macro instructions. The implementation of control signals for conditional jumps, such as 'jump on zero' and 'jump on carry,' is also explored to highlight the concept of implicit and explicit jumps in a micro program context. The ability to optimize common routines for different types of macro instructions is emphasized throughout.
