I've been programming it for the last term in a computer science class. It's pretty neat - and not actually super hard machine code either.Cool, I didn't know that architecture existed.
Kids these days... next you'll be telling me you've never heard of Motorola's 68K chips or the Super Hitachi (SH) architecture.Cool, I didn't know that architecture existed.
It's widely used in microarchitecture classes, the (32bit) instructions are easy to decode and implement, and it is typically used to demonstrate the classic 5-stage pipeline. Actually, I'm working on an out-of-order core right now.Cool, I didn't know that architecture existed.
MIPS is in a lot of stuff. Your internet router is probably MIPS-based. Very popular in networking applications. The Nintendo 64, Playstation 1 and 2, and PSP are also MIPS-based.Cool, I didn't know that architecture existed.
