BRONZE PLAQUE WITH THE FOLLOWING CITATION: IEEE MILESTONE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTING First RISC (Reduced Instruction-Set Computing) Microprocessor 1980-1982 Berkeley students designed and built the first VLSI reduced instruction-set computer in 1981. The simplified instructions of RISC-I reduced the hardware for instruction decode and control, which enabled a flat 32-bit address space, a large set of registers, and pipelined execution. A good match to C programs and the Unix operating system, RISC-I influenced instruction sets widely used today, including those for game consoles, smartphones and tablets. February 2015

B) 4:30 pm - 5 pm: RECEPTION

C) 5:30 pm: DINNER (at COMAL Restaurant, Berkeley); we all walk together from Soda Hall
