MMIX is a 64-bit RISC virtual machine designed by Donald Knuth, with significant contributions by John Hennessy and Dick Sites . Knuth will use MMIX in further editions of his multi-volume work The Art of Computer Programming (TAoCP) to illustrate machine-level aspects of programming, especially in relation to the analysis of algorithms.MMIX's predecessor, MIX, is used in current and earlier editions of TAoCP. MMIX is a completely new design, replacing MIX in its entirety.
