Abstract
This investigation consisted of analyzing the source code of one of the IBM Series/1's operating systems, the Event Driven Executive, and one of its Application Program Products, the Multiple Terminal Monitor, for combinations of existing hardware mnemonic instructions. Such instructions could possibly be vertically migrated into new single mnemonic hardware instructions, thus improving system performance. Two pairs of instructions were found which seem to be strong candidates for such vertical migration. Many instructions available on the Series/1 were not used in any of the modules examined. This suggests that some hardware instructions could be eliminated.
