*** Don't eat me *** RISC Machines: Current and Future by John Hennessy Stanford University and MIPS Computer Systems The work of John Hennessy at Stanford University has made a significant contribution to the work in Reduced Instruction Set Computers, more commonly known as RISC computers. Much of the computer industry today is using the results of this research. MIPS Computer Systems is one company that is now marketing products using RISC technology. The talk will include an introduction to RISC technology and the goals that it tries to achieve, the MIPS R2000 processor architecture, the performance of the MIPS processor systems, an overview of how the MIPS machines differ with other RISC processors, and what the future trends will be for RISC technology. Time: Friday, March 11, 1988 at 10am Place: Galbraith Building, GB 202 This talk is sponsored by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Computer Group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Toronto.
