•  Control store

  A control store is the part of a CPUs control unit that stores the CPU's microprogram. It is usually accessed by a microsequencer. A control store is usually implemented as a diode-array of read-only memory. This tradition dates back to the program timing matrix on the MIT Whirlwind, first described in 1947.
