Engineering

A complete reference manual to the MIPS RISC architecture.

• describes the user Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), as implemented by the R2000, R3000, R4000, and R6000 (collectively known as the R-Series) processors, together with an extension to this ISA.

• describes the general characteristics and capabilities of each RISC processor, along with a description of the programming model, memory management unit (MMU), and the registers associated with each processor.

• includes an overview of the underlying concepts that distinguish RISC architecture from Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) architecture.
