This page provides materials relating to The MMIX Supplement to The
Art of Computer Programming. This Book (ISBN-13: 978-0133992311, ISBN-10: 0133992314)
is available from Amazon
or other bookstores.
It contains the programs from Donald Knuths famous books rewritten for the MMIX
computer. It is the final result of the
MMIXmasters project.
Programs and Test cases
You can download all the .mms and .tst files as one zip file:
supplement.zip.
Tools
Several tools were designed for the programs as given above:
- mmstotex,
a utility to convert mms files to TeX files.
- mmstort,
a utility to extract instruction counts from mms files,
add them up, and compare them to a given sum.
- testgen,
a utility taking a tst file (the test description) and
possible several mms files producing a series of mms files as output.
Each output file is a complete MMIX program that can be assembled and run
to execute the test in question.
- ftoo,
a preprocessor to convert floating point numbers to their
hexadecimal representation. It can be used as a preprocessor for
mms files (or tst files) that need to use floating point constants.
- rsixfour.c,
a simple C program to generate random numbers for testing.
- toocta.c and
tolocta.c
two simple C programs that turn list of numbers into
MMIX programs containing OCTA declarations for testing.
The latter program adds a zero OCTA (for the link field)
to every data OCTA.
