#249on PLDB

39Years Old

MIPS is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by MIPS Technologies (formerly MIPS Computer Systems). The early MIPS architectures were 32-bit, with 64-bit versions added later. There are multiple versions of MIPS: including MIPS I, II, III, IV, and V; as well as five releases of MIPS32/64 (for 32- and 64-bit implementations, respectively). Read more on Wikipedia...

Example from Riju:

	.text
	.global main
main:
	li $v0, 5001
	li $a0, 1
	dla $a1, message
	li $a2, 14
	syscall
	li $v0, 5058
	li $a0, 0
	syscall
	.data
message:
	.string "Hello, world!\n"

Example from hello-world:

.data
hello_world: .asciiz "Hello World"

.text
main:
  li $v0, 4            # Load syscommand print_string
  la $a0, hello_world  # Load hello_world string into register $a0
  syscall              # Print the string
  jr $ra               # Return
