MIX is Donald Knuth's mythical computer as described in his monumental work
|
|
The Art Of Computer Programming. As any of its real counterparts, the MIX
|
|
features registers, memory cells, an overflow toggle, comparison flags,
|
|
input-output devices, and a set of binary instructions executable by its
|
|
virtual CPU. You can programme the MIX using an assembly language called
|
|
MIXAL, the MIX Assembly Language.
|
|
|
|
The MIX Development Kit offers an emulation of MIX and MIXAL. The current
|
|
version of MDK includes the following applications:
|
|
|
|
- mixasm A MIXAL compiler, which translates your source files into binary
|
|
ones, executable by the MIX virtual machine.
|
|
- mixvm A MIX virtual machine which is able to run and debug compiled MIXAL
|
|
programs, using a command line interface with readline's line editting
|
|
capabilities.
|
|
- gmixvm A MIX virtual machine with a GTK+ GUI which allows you running and
|
|
debugging your MIXAL programs through a nice graphical interface.
|
|
- mixvm.el An elisp program which allows you to run mixvm within an Emacs
|
|
GUD window, simultaneously viewing your MIXAL source file in another
|
|
buffer.
