MIPS architecture. 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 Computer Systems, now MIPS Technologies, based in the United States.
Apr 14, 2010 · The reason that MIPS is taught in schools is because it is a 'classic' RISC architecture and is DLX-like, which is the kind of architecture used in the bible by Hennessy & Patterson (the god-fathers of modern RISC). It is very simple to understand in its simplicity and once you get it, moving onto other architectures is simple enough.

Three basic types of instructions. Arithmetic/bitwise logic (ex: addition, left-shift, bitwise negation, xor) Data transfers to/from/between registers and memory. Control flow. Unconditionally jump to an address in memory. Jump to an address if a register has a value of 0. Invoke a function.

Jun 21, 2021 · The MIPS architecture belongs to the general category of Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) architectures. As such, it is easier to learn than a Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) architecture such as the x86 architecture used by most laptops and PCs. Although the x86 architecture (and its 64-bit extension) is not a RISC architecture ...
The Program Counter (PC) Special register (PC) that points to instructions. Contains memory address (like a pointer) Instruction fetch is. − inst = mem[pc] So far, have fetched sequentially: PC= PC + 4. − Assumes 4 byte insns − True for MIPS. − X86: variable size (nasty) May want to specify non-sequential fetch.
