With the LMC model, the behavior of the Little Man (e.g., control unit) is described at a high level for each instruction in the instruction set. For example, Englander explains the fetch-execute activities of the LOAD instruction this way: The Little Man walks over to the mailbox address specified in the instruction.

Sun Aims at Multimedia Sweet Spot With 'Magic' Chip >BY Dan Jones
New instructions in the microcode embedded in the processor will make 3-D, graphics, video, speech synthesis, compression and encryption blazingly fast - in effect extending the MMX instruction set. But only after software developers have rewritten applications to specifically take advantage of the new instructions - so don't expect word processors and spreadsheets to be much faster.
