920 Acknowledgments


stand out: M. E. (Ted) Hoff was the architect and Federico Faggin the chip designer of the 4004. Stanley Mazor contributed to the 4004 architecture as well as to the architectures of the 8008 and 8080. Hoff, along with Hal Feeney, were the major contributors to the 8008 development. Faggin managed the development of the 8080 and participated in defining the architecture, with Masatoshi Shima doing the logic and circuit design. Roger Swanson defined the new instructions for the 8085 while Peter Stoll and Andrew Volk performed the 8085 logic and circuit design. The 8086 architecture was defined by Stephen Morse and refined by Bruce Ravenel, with James McKevitt and John Bayliss responsible for the logic and circuit design. William Pohlman managed both the 8085 and 8086 activities.

The authors would like to thank Stephen Hanna for reviewing this material and for his many suggestions and comments.

Chapter 38: The authors are grateful to Mr. Nigberg of the technical publication department at DEC and to the reviewers for their helpful criticism. We are especially grateful to Mrs. Dorothy Josephson at Carnegie-Mellon University for typing the notation-laden manuscript.

Chapter 39: This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grant GJ-32758X and by an IBM Fellowship. Engineering documentation was supplied by Digital Equipment Corporation.

Chapter 42: Although the final architecture is the result of several design iterations involving many hardware and software engineers, the author would like to acknowledge the other members of the initial architectural group: Gordon Bell, Peter Conklin, Dave Cutler, Bill Demmer, Tom Hastings, Richy Lary, Dave Rodgers and Steve Rothman. Mary Janes Forbes and Louise Principe deserve special thanks for typing this manuscript.

Chapter 44: Acknowledgments are due to my colleagues at Cray Research, G. Grenander, R. Hendrickson, M. Huber, C. Jewett, P. Johnson, A. LaBounty, and J. Robidoux, without whose contributions this paper could not have been written.

Chapter 45: Although it would not be possible to acknowledge all of the contributors to the ASC program, particular recognition should be given to Messrs. H. G. Cragon, W. D. Kastner, E. H. Husband, D. R. Best, C. M. Stephenson, C. R. Hall, F. A. Galindo, and E. C. Garth, all of whom contributed immeasurably to the architecture of the ASC system. Many other members of the Texas Instruments Equipment Group staff have also made significant contributions in the development of the ASC system.
