Using Mips assembler

Below you can find links to Mars simulator, description of MIPS assembler and PCSPIM simulator that will be used by us for the second programming assignment. I recommend you to check if the links are working and to download MARS simulator and to check if you are able to run it at your computer. http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/spim.html - PCSPIM simulator PCSIM simulator http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/HP_AppA.pdf - Appendix A - Description of MIPS assembler and simulator http://courses.missouristate.edu/KenVollmar/MARS/ - MARS simulator - Missouri State University

Explanation / Answer

.text main: la $a0, array # $a0 = base address of array addi $a1, $zero, 10 # $a1 = number of elements in the array jal maximum # "maximum" function j finish # end of porgram maximum: addi $t7, $zero, 0 # $t7 starting index = 0 addi $t2, $zero, 0 # $t2 max till now = 0 maximum_loop: # if index == number of elements in the array, exit loop beq $t7, $a1, maximum_finish lw $t3, 0($a0) # $t3 = array[index] slt $t1, $t3, $t2 # if array[index]
