Hi. It's probably not very good place for asking such, but there're should be at least those who knows starting points. We need to design our own CPU which can be very slow. It can execute each instruction, let's say, up to 50 cycles. We don't care about speed, and we are also don't care about memory size for microcode, but we're really care about CPU unit size. Where to read about CPU designing techniques, which are about shifting all possible to microcode from CPU unit? Extreme case will be probably Turing machine, but it's not practical. CPU registers and instructions in our case should be looks like ARM9 processor, maybe.
