Summary

• This program is made for showing how the "MIPS 5-staged pipeline" works.
• Your assembly.s code will be converted to assembly.asm code and then executed.
• You can see the process of execution in the data path of the window.
• This program supports the following instructions
  • R-type
    • add, sub, and, or, slt
  • I-type
    • lw, sw, beq
  • J-type
    • j
      
      
      

Platform

• Code Type:  ARM64
• Platform:   macOS 12.6 (21G115)
  
  
  
  

Requirement

Raylib

Link to raylib (Github)

• Checkout following link
• You can find a few ways to install raylib

OSX

https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/Working-on-macOS

Linux

https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/Working-on-GNU-Linux

Spim

Link to spim (Sourceforge)

• You need to install flex and bison before installing spim

OSX

$ brew install flex bison

Linux

$ sudo apt-get -y install flex bison

Install

$ make (all) [SIZE_FACTOR=size_factor]

• SIZE_FACTOR: size factor of the window (default: 8.0)
  • Only 7, 8, and 9 are supported for  SIZE_FACTOR
  • If you want to resize the simulator, you have to execute
    • $ make re SIZE_FACTOR=other_value
      
      
      
      

How to run

Default

$ make run [INPUT_FILE="test.s"] [SIZE_FACTOR=size_factor]

• Default  INPUT_FILE  is "test.s"
• Rule "run" executes following two commands
  • cd ./libs/assembler/spim; ./spim -file ../../../test.s -dump; cd ../../../;
  • ./mips_pipeline_simulator ./libs/assembler/spim/text.asm ./libs/assembler/spim/data.asm
• Using in manual is not recommended

For custom File

$ make run [INPUT_FILE="your_assembly_file.s"]

•  INPUT_FILE  has to be ".s" file

Make support following commands

• make (all) : compile program
• make run : run program (includes make all)
• make clean : remove all object files
• make fclean : remove all object files and executable file
• make re : recompile program
