SPIM

SPIM

SPIM is a MIPS processor simulator, designed to run assembly language code for this architecture. The program simulates R2000 and R3000 processors, and was written by James R. Larus. The MIPS machine language is often taught in college-level assembly courses, especially those using the textbook "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface" by David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy, and Nitin Indurkhya (ISBN 1-55860-428-6).

SPIM simulators are available for Windows (PCSpim), Mac OS X and Unix/Linux-based (xspim) operating systems.

The name of the language is a reversal of the letters "MIPS".

* GXemul (formerly known as mips64emul), another MIPS emulator. Unlike SPIM, which focuses on emulating a bare MIPS instruction set implementation, GXemul is written to emulate full computer systems based on MIPS microprocessors—for example, GXemul can emulate a DECstation 5000 Model 200 workstation.
* QEMU also emulates MIPS.
