Knuth introduced the MIX computer and its machine language: a teaching tool that powerfully illuminated the inner workings of the algorithms he documents. Later, with the publication of his \u003cem\u003eFascicle 1\u003c\/em\u003e, Knuth introduced MMIX: a modern, 64-bit RISC replacement to the now-obsolete MIX. Now, with Knuth's guidance and approval, Martin Ruckert has rewritten \u003cem\u003eall \u003c\/em\u003eMIX example programs from Knuth's Volumes 1-3 for MMIX, thus completing this MMIX update to the original classic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding on contributions from the international MMIXmasters volunteer group, Ruckert fully addresses MMIX basic concepts, information structures, random numbers, arithmetic, sorting, and searching. In the preparation of this supplement, about 15,000 lines of MMIX code were written and checked for correctness; over a thousand test cases were written and executed to ensure the code is of the highest possible quality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe MMIX Supplement \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eshould be read side by side with \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Computer Programming, Volumes 1\u003c\/em\u003e-\u003cem\u003e3, \u003c\/em\u003eand Knuth's \u003cem\u003eFascicle 1, \u003c\/em\u003ewhich introduces the MMIX computer, its design, and its machine language. Throughout, this supplement contains convenient page references to corresponding coverage in the original volumes. To further simplify the transition to MMIX, Ruckert stayed as close as possible to the original-preserving programming style, analysis techniques, and even wording, while highlighting differences where appropriate. The resulting text will serve as a bridge to the future, helping readers apply Knuth's insights in modern environments, until his revised, \"ultimate\" edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Computer Programming \u003c\/em\u003eis available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Donald E.

Martin has not merely transcribed my early programs for MIX and recast them in a modern idiom. He has penetrated to their essence and rendered them anew with elegance and good taste. His carefully checked code represents a significant contribution to the art of pedagogy as well as to the art of programming.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Martin Ruckert \u003c\/strong\u003emaintains the MMIX home page at mmix.cs.hm.edu.
