A complete reference manual to MIPS RISC architecture, this book describes the user instruction set, together with extension to the ISA. It details specific implementations of RISC architecture as exemplified by the R2000, R3000, R4000, and R6000 processors. The book describes the general characteristics and capabilities of each processor, along with programming models which describes how data is represented in the CPU register and in memory. RISC CPU registers are summarized, and the underlying concepts that characterize ...
