MMIX is a RISC computer designed by Don Knuth to illustrate
machine-level aspects of programming. In the author's book series "The
Art of Computer Programming", MMIX replaces the 1960s-style machine
MIX. A particular goal in the design of MMIX was to keep its machine
language simple, elegant, and easy to learn. At the same time, all of
the complexities needed to achieve high performance in practice are
taken into account. This book constitutes a collection of programs
written in CWEB that make MMIX a virtual reality. Among other
utilities, an assembler converting MMIX symbolic files to MMIX objects
and two simulators executing the programs in given object files are
provided. The latest version of all programs can be downloaded from
MMIX's home page. The book provides a complete documentation of the
MMIX computer and its assembly language. It also presents
mini-indexes, which make the programs much easier to understand. A
corrected reprint of the book has been published in August
2014, replacing the version of 1999.
