  • 課程相關資源：

    • Simulation tools:
      • MARS:
        • Please go to the website to download MARS (website here)
        • MARS is developed with Java language, and it requires JRE (Java Runtime Environment) installed on your computer. Please go to the website to download JRE: (website here)
      • SPIM:
        Read Appendix A of the text book for its usage.
        The following description assumes that you have an account on the workstation, e.g. cs20 - 24.
      • Create a directory, say spim, under your home directory
      • Link everything under cs20:~king/tools/spim as follows:
        %ln -s ~king/tools/spim spim
      • Read the README file for setting the environment variable for running xspim.
        Information of compiling a C program into MIPS assemly code can also be found there.
      • To run the simulator only, type spim or xspim
      • To generate trace, run the simulator as follows:
        %spim -trace -file MIPS_program_file.s > trace_file
        Each record in the trace file has the following format:
        [0x00400000] 0x8fa40000 lw $4, 0($29); 102: lw $a0, 0($sp)
        where the first field is the address of the instruction, the second field is its binary code, the third field is the assembly code, and the fourth field is the corresponding source assembly code
      • PCSPIM:
        Windows version of SPIM
        • Get it from here. However, you still need compiled MIPS assembly code as input to PCSPIM (see description above).
      • Dinero:
        • Download the dineroIV package (website here)
        • According to the instructions in the README file, install the package
        • The subdirectory testing contains two sample trace files, mm.32 and mm.64.
          They store the trace information in the pixie32 format.
          You may like to use these trace files to familiarize yourself with dineroIV.
        • To run dineroIV with mm.32, use the following command at the dineroIV main directory:
          cat testing/mm.32 | dineroIV -informat p .....
    • Benchmarks:
      • Small benchmarks: ackermann.c, linpack-pc.c, livermore.c, sieve.c, whetstone.c
      • More benchmarks: netlib
