The objective of this work is the realization of an application in JAVA whose function will be to simulate the MIPS 32-bit architecture in pipelined computer with hardwired control unit, in order to help in the learning and understanding of this architecture by the students in Computer Architecture subjects. With it, students will be able to graphically visualize the datapath of multiple MIPS instructions passing through the different stages of the pipelined computer.
As it is well known, teaching simulators are very useful resources to teach the practices of the subjects and that students understand in a more optimal way the theoretical concepts taught. Specifically, this work presents a teaching simulator, SICOME 2.0, which is used in the practices of Computer Architecture and allows an interactive simulation on a Simple Computer Architecture. The work also describes the practices carried out in the subject with this simulator. The experience with this simulator is very satisfactory and the results obtained show that it helps to improve the comprehension of the subject.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations 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.
