MIPS Assembly Language Programming

This book is targeted for use in an introductory lower-division assembly language programming or computer organization course. After students are introduced to the MIPS architecture using this book, they will be well prepared to go on to an upper-division computer organization course using a textbook such as “Computer Organization and Design” by Patterson and Hennessy. This book provides a technique that will make MIPS assembly language programming a relatively easy task as compared to writing complex Intel
80x86 assembly language code. Students using this book will acquire an understanding of how the functional components of computers are put together, and how a computer works at the machine language level. We assume students have experience in developing algorithms, and running programs in a high-level language.
