MIPS Instruction Set 4 Comparison Instruction Example Meaning Comments set on less than slt $1,$2,$3 if($2<$3)$1=1; else $1=0 Test if less than. If true, set $1 to 1. Otherwise, set $1 to 0. …

MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipelined Stages) [1] is a family of reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architectures (ISA) [2]: A-1 [3]: 19 developed by MIPS …

Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs) •ISA defines the interface which hardware presents to software •A compiler translates high-level source code (e.g., C++, Go) to the ISA for a target …

MIPS is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer. Others include ARM, PowerPC, SPARC, HP-PA, and Alpha. A Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) is one alternative. Intel’s x86 is the …

Instruction Set • Understanding the language of the hardware is key to understanding the hardware/software interface • A program (in say, C) is compiled into an executable that is …

Thus, the MIPS processor implemented a smaller, simpler instruction set. Each of the instructions included in the chip design ran in a single clock cycle. The processor used a technique called …

The MIPS ISA has 32 registers (x86 has 8 registers) – Why not more? Why not less? To make the code more readable, registers are partitioned as $s0-$s7 (C/Java variables), $t0-$t9 …

Here are tables of common MIPS instructions and what they do. If you want some in-context examples of when you’d use them, see the cookbook. All arithmetic and bitwise instructions …
