MIPS processor is widely used in embedded system, whose memory hierarchy has such an important effect on the performance and cost that how to design memory hierarchy rapidly is a key problem. To deal with the MIPS memory hierarchy research, we design a MIPS simulator “QtMips”. It is a GUI, Qt-based simulator for MIPS assembly language, which not only collects and analyzes real-time simulation information, but also supports fast memory configuration setting such as hierarchy setting, allocation setting, etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
