The virtual machine +it provides can be either the one presented by the MIPS assembler or the +one of the bare hardware. The simulator can also be built to simulate the +pipeline architecture of the MIPS machine (both the control and floating +point pipelines). When built for this, it also simulates and displays +an instruction and data cache. + +This simulator is useful in CS and EE classes, including providing a +target machine for compilers courses, lower division assembly language +programming, microprocessor design courses, etc... + + -- David O'Brien (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu) |
