 Interview with John Hennessy
On September 14th, the project group met with Stanford University President and MIPS founder John Hennessy to discuss the foundations of the RISC architecture and his views on the directions of processor technology.
HENNESSY: I think we are on the verge of reaching a point for integer code where we can’t do it, or it would be very hard to do it.
John Masseuris, who was one of the co-founders of MIPS and was at IBM before that can give some interesting history of what happened at IBM, and probably even tell you why they cancelled the eta-1 and decided instead to product-ize what was called the micro 370, which was a fiasco.
