		  RISC Machines: Current and Future

				  by
			    John Hennessy

	    Stanford University and MIPS Computer Systems

The work of John Hennessy at Stanford University has made a
significant contribution to the work in Reduced Instruction Set
Computers, more commonly known as RISC computers.  Much of the
computer industry today is using the results of this research.  MIPS
Computer Systems is one company that is now marketing products using
RISC technology.

The talk will include an introduction to RISC technology and the goals
that it tries to achieve, the MIPS R2000 processor architecture, the
performance of the MIPS processor systems, an overview of how the MIPS
machines differ with other RISC processors, and what the future trends
will be for RISC technology.

Time: Friday, March 11, 1988 at 10am
Place: Galbraith Building, GB 202

This talk is sponsored by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and
the Computer Group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the
University of Toronto.
