MMIX
MMIX is a
64-bit RISC virtual machine. MMIX was created by
Donald Knuth together with significant contributions from
John Hennessy and Dick Sites. Knuth will use MMIX in further editions of his multi-volume
The Art of Computer Programming to illustrate machine-level aspects of
programming, especially in relation to the
analysis of algorithms.
Current and earlier editions of the book use MIX, MMIX's predecessor. MMIX is a completely new design, replacing MIX in its entirety.
