QtSpim VS Steel Bank Common Lisp

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: over 2 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: over 2 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 / over 2 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 / about 3 years ago

Tangential: if we're talking Lisp and native code speed, Steel Bank Common Lisp (by default) compiles everything to machine code. [0] https://sbcl.org. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Q5: Get http://sbcl.org/. Install https://quicklisp.org/. SBCL is the implementation that's the lowest friction, and Quicklisp is a package manager that's almost* painless. Source: 12 months ago

That is what we do in Lisp. Try sbcl if you haven't tried it yet. Source: about 1 year ago

I want to add the sbcl-doc subpackage (the manual for SBCL in GNU Info format), but first I need to understand how to write package definitions. As far as I understand there are the "templates" which are shell scripts that describe how a package is to be built and installed, and xbps-src is a shell script which can process these templates to actually carry out the work.

> Lisp looks like Python, that's far from C, and usually it's a "interpreted" language, far from machine the currently most popular Common Lisp implementation is based around an optimizing native code compiler. That compiler has its roots in the early 80s. See https://sbcl.org . It's far away from being 'interpreted'. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
