About MIPS Assembly
MIPS is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture, currently used mostly in video game consoles and routers. It is also a popular architecture in introductory courses and textbooks on computer architecture, due to its simplicity relative to x86 and ARM. Here we use the 32-bit instruction set; a 64-bit instruction set also exists.
This track involves programming in MIPS assembly language, assembled and run on a cross-platform simulator.
Key Features of MIPS Assembly
Easy to Learn
MIPS is a simple assembly language, used in university computer architecture courses.
Widely Used
MIPS is at the core of billions of shipped products.
Extensive documentation
MIPS is widely documented, particulaly in academic texts on computer architecture.
Fast
Fast execution speed, via compact instructions, has been a key feature since its inception.
Small
As a RISC-based assembly language, it boasts a small, orthogonal instruction set.
