Exactly 11 years since her previous visit to a packed ROUGOL, we are delighted to virtually welcome back Sophie Wilson to talk to us about the development of microprocessors, past, present, and future. Sophie needs little introduction to Acorn/RISC OS users, having been co-designer of the BBC Micro, designer of the ARM instruction set, and author of BBC BASIC (6502 and ARM versions). She is also a Broadcom Fellow and Distinguished Engineer, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the British Computer Society, and has an honorary doctorate of science from Cambridge University and a CBE. http://www.rougol.jellybaby.net/meeti... ...more
