The author found some nice references but seems to not have read them all. The text says:
> It’s been a long, strange trip for MIPS. What started out as a university research project (under Dr. David Patterson, no less)
while https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-CHINA/TECH/yzdvxxdlnvx/USA-CHINA-TECH.jpg https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-CHINA/TECH/yzdvxxdlnvx/USA-... has the more correct:
> MIPS was developed in 1981 by Stanford professor John Hennessy and his students
- peapicker 6y agoI have a first edition Hennessy and Patterson textbook on the mips architecture from my early 90s college days which I used to write a mips emulator. They BOTH worked on it as original innovators, Hennessy for Mips in specific, Patterson for being a main innovator of RISC architecture to begin with. The pair won the 2017 Turing award for their respective contributions to RISC.
