• Read
  • Text, Chapter 2 and Appendix B
  • Wikipedia articles on:
    • MIPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture
      
• Problems from Text
  • 2.5.1
  • 2.5.2
  • 2.18
  • 2.19.1
  • 2.20.1
• Notes
  • All MIPS code should be written and tested using the SPIM simulator. If you need to make assumptions or put some artificial data into memory to test a section of MIPS code in SPIM, do so and note that on your assignment.
  • In your write up include
    • A description of your testing method/examples
    • A statement that the code functions properly for all test cases (assuming it actually does, that is - otherwise indicate how it fails and what you think might be wrong).
