ROMP的全称是Research (Office Products Division) Micro Processor，它是IBM公司所研制的一颗微处理器，第一颗ROMP芯片于1981年问世，并在之后用于办公事务的机器设备内，事实上这颗处理器的研发用意是用来取代自1970年中期就开始使用的OPD Mini Processor（OPD迷你处理器）OPD迷你处理器主要是用在文本编辑的系统设备内，如IBM的Office System/6及DisplayWriter等。

ROMP处理器最初是用在IBM RT/PC的系列产品内，该系列产品于1986年发表，之后ROMP处理器也被用在IBM的雷射打印机内。此外有一段时间IBM有意让IBM RT/PC成为个人电脑产品，并用自有的ROMP处理器来取代Intel公司的8088处理器，不过实际上其软件方面却比较偏向于工程用的工作站。

The ROMP or Research OPD Micro Processor was a 10 MHz RISC microprocessor designed by IBM in the early 1980s. It is also known in some circles as 032. "OPD" stands for "Office Products Division", the division of IBM which originated the processor. The ROMP was manufactured on a 2 µm process with 45,000 transistors, saw first in silicon in 1981, and was originally developed to be used in office equipment and small computers. It was intended as a follow-on to a mid-1970s processor called the "OPD Mini Processor", which was used in text editing systems such as the IBM Office System/6. ROMP originally was shipped in the IBM RT/PC line, announced in 1986, and was later used in an IBM laser printer. For a time the IBM RT/PC was planned to be a personal computer, with ROMP replacing the Intel 8088. However, the software was targeted more towards engineering workstations.
