Instructions:
· Language of the Machine
· More primitive than higher level languages
e.g., no sophisticated control flow
· Very restrictive
e.g., MIPS Arithmetic Instructions
· We'll be working with the MIPS instruction set architecture
similar to other architectures developed since the 1980's
used by NEC, Nintendo, Silicon Graphics, Sony
Design goals: maximize performance and minimize cost, reduce design time

MIPS arithmetic
· All instructions have 3 operands
· Operand order is fixed (destination first)
