What is SPIM?

SPIM

SPIM is a cool tool made just for running MIPS32-based applications. Think of it as a self-contained simulator that helps you run programs written in assembly language for this type of processor.

What Does SPIM Do?

SPIM can read and execute assembly programs, which is pretty neat! It also offers a user-friendly debugger and some basic operating system services to make your life easier. Just keep in mind that SPIM can't run compiled or binary programs.

MIPS32 Instruction Set

The entire MIPS32 assembler-extended instruction set is included with the app. However, it's worth noting that some floating point comparisons, rounding modes, and memory system page tables are not implemented.

MIPS Architectures

The MIPS architecture has different versions, like MIPS64, which handles 64-bit integers and addresses. So, if you try to run programs meant for those processors, they won't work with SPIM.

Assembler Directives

You might come across some assembler directives from MIPS compilers that SPIM can't process. But don't worry! These can usually be ignored safely without any issues.

User-Friendly Interface on Windows

If you're using Microsoft Windows, the application has a simple terminal UI. This makes it easy for anyone to navigate around without getting lost!

Why Try SPIM?

If you're looking for an effective app to run MIPS32 architecture-based applications, give SPIM a try!
