Textbook and Recommended Readings
The reference for this course is
MIPS RISC Architecture, by Kane and Heinrich,
and the paper SPIM S20: A MIPS R2000 Simulator by J Larus will
serve both as a quick reference for the instruction set and as a
manual for using the xspim emulator.
Office Hours
My office is in AP&M 5141, and my office hours are Mondays and
Wednesday 3pm-4pm (this may change later in the quarter). You can make
appointments at other times; you can feel free to stop by at other
times as well, but I reserve the right to throw you out if I'm too
busy.
The TAs are Matt Hohlfeld and Sam Hamilton. Matt's office hours are
Tuesdays and Thursdays 12pm-1pm, and Sam's office hours are Fridays
1pm-2pm. They will both be held in AP&M 3337A.
Grading
This course will have 4-6 homework assignments and 2-3 longer term
projects; they will mostly be done on-line. There will be an in-class
midterm and a final.
Grading will be based on the following percentages:
| Homework | 30% |
| Midterm | 30% |
| Final | 35% |
| Class Participation | 5% |
Grade cut-offs will be determined from ``natural'' breaks in the
score distribution.
