  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.
