The GMICRO/~OO, a 32-bit microprocessor based on the TRON architecture specification, has high performance bit-map manipulation instructions. The bit-map instructions are implemented by pipelining micro-operations and achieve optimum use of the memory bus in the execution. The bit-map instructions are 2 t o 3 times faster than repeating move instruction by the software. Microprogram development tools for the G M I C R O /~~~ design are also described in this paper.
