So look this is not a direct answer to your question but rather an example of how I solved a similar question from an assignment back when I took the architecture class 3 years ago, sadly now I forgot everything related to MIPS, so hopefully, this turns out to be helpful and not the other way around... All the following was done using the SPIM simulator Visit http://spimsimulator.sourceforge.net/ and click the... Source: almost 3 years ago

Thanks. I asked this question in Assembly sub. Someone said, This only works in MARS environment. I am using QTSPIM simulator. I don't know what is QtSPIM or MARS, but they seem to be similar. Source: almost 3 years ago

Cool :). The thing is to have an always start-to-end working compiler for an increasingly (even if the steps are very small) complex language. Another point would be to use simple tools at least to begin with. Racket [1] provides good lexer/parser tools [2] and you can use pattern matching [3] to browse and transform your AST. You can also target MIPS assembly [4] using the SPIM platform [5] for example, it is... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

I took the course. You need to understand MIPS assembly. You can learn it during the course, but it's good to have some understanding of assembly beforehand to reduce the learning curve, because there is a lot of material to learn. When I took it you wrote a compiler from scratch. You could choose C or java to write it. I know both, but I chose java which is what I recommend (more 3rd party tools, easier to...

I remember CS 61C at Berkeley used to use MIPS to teach assembly language programming and a bit about computer architecture, using the original MIPS version of Patterson and Hennessy's Computer Organization and Design. Now that book is available in both MIPS and RISC-V versions, with, I've assumed, much more effort going into the RISC-V version... I do think the simplicity of MIPS was a big plus there,... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

CLisp is an unfortunate contraction, also naming an implementation, but yes, the Common Lisp spec is that big. Source: over 1 year ago
