> Moreover, in March 1982 there has been a very important symposium where all the teams working at that time on RISC CPUs have presented their work, including the Berkeley RISC, Stanford MIPS and IBM 801 projects.
> The presentations from that symposium have determined the designers of the future ARM CPU to change their architecture from some kind of 6502 extension to a RISC architecture.
That is absolutely fascinating. Are the papers from that conference available online?
- adrian_b 4y agoThe presentations from that symposium have been published by ACM: ASPLOS-I Proceedings of the Symposium on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems, March 1-3, 1982, Palo Alto, California. ACM Press, 1982, SIGARCH Computer Architecture News 10(2), SIGPLAN Notices 17(4) The IBM 801 was presented by George Radin: "The 801 Minicomputer", pp. 39-47. You can download freely all the presentations from: https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/800050 https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/800050 There is somewhere online an interview with one of the ARM designers, I do not remember whether with Steve Furber or with Sophie Wilson, where they mention how they have learned about RISC from this symposium.
