{"product_id":"mmix-supplement-the","title":"MMIX Supplement, The","description":"In the first edition of \u003cem\u003eVolume 1 of The Art of Computer Programming\u003c\/em\u003e, Donald E. Knuth introduced the MIX computer and its machine language: a teaching tool that powerfully illuminated the inner workings of the algorithms he documents. Later, with the publication of his Fascicle 1, Knuth introduced MMIX: a modern, 64-bit RISC replacement to the now-obsolete MIX. Now, with Knuth's guidance and approval, Martin Ruckert has rewritten all MIX example programs from Knuth's Volumes 1-3 for MMIX, thus completing this MMIX update to the original classic. \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\nBuilding on contributions from the international MMIXmasters volunteer group, Ruckert fully addresses MMIX basic concepts, information structures, random numbers, arithmetic, sorting, and searching. In the preparation of this supplement, about 15,000 lines of MMIX code were written and checked for correctness; over a thousand test cases were written and executed to ensure the code is of the highest possible quality. \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe MMIX Supplement\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e should be read side by side with \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Computer Programming, Volumes 1-3,\u003c\/em\u003e and Knuth's \u003cem\u003eFascicle 1\u003c\/em\u003e, which introduces the MMIX computer, its design, and its machine language. Throughout, this supplement contains convenient page references to corresponding coverage in the original volumes. To further simplify the transition to MMIX, Ruckert stayed as close as possible to the original–preserving programming style, analysis techniques, and even wording, while highlighting differences where appropriate.","brand":"Pearson Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46286827258094,"sku":"9780133992878","price":37.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/mmix-supplement-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
