It has 256 + general-purpose 64-bit registers that each can hold either fixed-point or + floating-point numbers. Most instructions have the 4-byte form `OP X Y Z', + where each of OP, X, Y, and Z is a single 8-bit byte. For example, if OP is + the code for ADD the meaning is ``X=Y+Z''; i.e., ``Set register X to the + contents of register Y plus the contents of register Z.'' The 256 possible + OP codes fall into a dozen or so easily remembered categories. + + The designers of important real-world processor chips (e.g., MIPS and + ALPHA) have helped me with the design of MMIX. So I'm excited about the + prospects. + + Ebuild provided by Hanno Boeck <hanno@gmx.de>. |
