RISC assembly MIPS ARM
Popular processor designs can be broadly divided into two categories: Complex Instruction
Set Computers (CISC) and Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC). The dominant
processor in the PC market, Pentium, belongs to the CISC category. However, the recent
trend is to use the RISC designs. Even Intel has moved from CISC to RISC design for
their 64-bit processor. The main objective of this book is to provide a guide to the architecture
and assembly language of the popular RISC processors. In all, we cover five RISC
designs in a comprehensive manner.
To explore RISC assembly language, we selected the MIPS processor, which is pedagogically
appealing as it closely adheres to the RISC principles. Furthermore, the availability
of the SPIM simulator allows us to use a PC to learn the MIPS assembly language.
