Does anyone have any software that interprets the MIPS object code via ftp? Can anyone recommand any good references on the MIPS instruction set (for programming)? And provide me with speed info on the MIPS chips such as #of instructions/sec, cycles/instructions, and data transfer rate to different memory hierarchy (cache, RAM, and disk)? I need to write a program to parse MIPS instruction streams and I'll appreciate any help via email. Michael Lam EECS Dept. University of Illinois at Chicago lam@uicbert.eecs.uic.edu

Jim Larus (larus@cs.wisc.edu) has a MIPS simulator developed (as I recall) for use by assembly language programming course (it's also suitable for a compiler course). It supports a symbolic simple assembly language in addition to binary format . It can simulate the load and branch delays, or you can turn that off. It comes with a manual (which contains a reasonable introduction to the MIPS cpu), and has an ordinary terminal interface as well as an X interface. It implements a few simple system calls. It does not try to be a detailed simulator of the architecture, so the translation lookaside buffer (for example) is not implemented. Anyway, you may find it useful. It certainly has a parser in it!

The memory to processor bandwidth of this system is certainly going to reduce the applicability of the name MIPS. dan herrick herrickd@astro.pc.ab.com

Uh....wouldn't that be rather slow? :-)
