The first Stanford MIPS project started as a special graduate course in 1981. That project produced working silicon in 1983 and a prototype for running small programs in early 1984. After that, we declared it a success and decided to move on to the next project-MIPS-X. This book is the final and complete word on MIPS-X. The initial design of MIPS-X was formulated in 1984 beginning in the Spring. At that time, we were unsure that RISe technology was going to have the industrial impact that we felt it should. We also knew of a number of architectural and implementation flaws in the Stanford...

When the Nazis in Germany were rounding up the Jews for the labor camps and the rest of the world were refusing to accept these refugees, a tailor sneaked his family out of Vienna with the help of a Gypsy family. They ended up in Venice and boarded an ocean-going vessel. Thirty-eight days later, they arrived in Shanghai and found themselves immersed in a world of totally different culture and religious beliefs. They were spared of Hitler's slaughter. But were they going to lose their own culture and tradition? This is the story of their struggles for survival.

Six young men from Taiwan, with no money nor sailing experience, shared a dream to sail a Chinese coastal junk on the big oceans. They found a dilapidated junk in the backwater of their fishing village. With conning and cajoling they managed to get her to sea, but just ten miles out everything started going wrong. Three days after a celebratory send-off, the crew limped back to port with their tails between their legs. Yet four months later, having survived many red tapes, a typhoon, a gale and countless defeats, despair, fears of death and near-mutiny fights, the junk finally completed her...

Two enemies, a Japanese scientist's wife and a Chinese peasant woman, were drawn together in an unusual situation during the Sino-Japanese war (1937-1945). Their daughters grew up together and became inseparable. When the war ended, all Japanese were repatriated back to Japan. Not wanting to subject an innocent child to the unknown harsh life of a post-war Japan, the young scientist couple left their daughter in China to be cared for by the Chinese peasant. As soon as the relationship between China and the United States returned to normal, this Japanese couple returned to China to look for...
