Description
SPIM
SPIM is a handy tool made to be a self-contained simulator that runs MIPS32-based applications. If you’re looking to dive into assembly language programming, this software is perfect for you!
What Can SPIM Do?
SPIM can read and execute assembly programs designed for the MIPS32 processor. It also comes with an easy-to-use debugger and a basic set of OS services. Keep in mind, though, that SPIM can’t run compiled or binary programs.
MIPS32 Instruction Set
The app supports the entire MIPS32 assembler-extended instruction set! However, it does leave out some things like most floating-point comparisons and rounding modes, as well as the memory system page tables.
MIPS Variants
The MIPS architecture has different versions that vary in several ways. For instance, the MIPS64 architecture allows full support for 64-bit integers and addresses. So, SPIM won't work with all programs compiled for every type of MIPS processor.
Handling Assembler Directives
Sometimes, MIPS compilers create assembler directives that Spim can’t process. Luckily, these usually can be ignored without any issues.
User-Friendly Interface on Windows
If you're using Microsoft Windows, you'll appreciate SPIM’s straightforward terminal UI. It makes navigation super easy for anyone!
Try Out SPIM!
If you're searching for a capable app to run MIPS32 architecture-based applications, give SPIM a try! You might just find it’s exactly what you need.
