- What is the MIX?
- </font></p>
- <b>MIX</b> is Donald Knuth's mythical computer as described
- in his monumental work <a
- href="http://Sunburn.Stanford.EDU/~knuth/taocp.html"> The
- Art Of Computer Programming</a>. 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 <b>MIXAL</b>, the MIX Assembly Language. <p> So,
- what's the use of learning MIXAL? Well, if you're interested
- in programming, please buy, borrow or steal a copy of TAOCP,
- and you'll see the use ;-).

- What is the MDK?
- </font></p>
- The <b>M</b>IX <b>D</b>evelopment <b>K</b>it offers an emulation of
- <b>MIX</b> and <b>MIXAL</b>. The <a href="download.html">
- current version</a> of MDK includes two applications:
- <ul>
- <li><b><i>mixasm</i></b> A MIXAL compiler, which
- translates your source files into binary ones, executable
- by the MIX virtual machine.
- <li><b><i>mixvm</i></b> 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.
- </ul>
- Using the MDK tools, you'll be able to
- <ul>
- <li>write, compile and execute MIXAL programs,
- <li>set breakpoints and run your programs step by step,
- <li>inspect and modify the MIX registers, flags and memory
- contents at any step,
- <li>simulate MIX input-output devices using the standard
- output and your file system.
- </ul>
- See the MDK <a href="mdk.html">user's manual</a> for a complete
- description of the toolkit.
- The MDK utils will run on any GNU/Linux box (see
- <a href="download.html#reqs">requirements</a>) and, of course, are
- <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">free software</a>.
- <p align="right"><font color="#000069" size="+1">
- Planned features
- </font></p>
- MDK is currently under active development, and there are some
- planned additional features I have in mind, e.g.
- <ul>
- <li> tracing of executed instructions in <b><i>mixvm</i></b>,
- <li> allow MIXAL instructions as commands at the
- <b><i>mixvm</i></b> prompt,
- <li> include execution timing statistics,
- <li> ncurses based frontend,
- <li> GTK++/GNOME support,
- </ul>
- Please, <a href="mailto:jaortega@acm.org">let me know</a> which
- of these features would you like better.
