Teaching compiler code generation: simpler is better

The MIPS architecture is studied at many universities because its instruction set is fairly clean and orthogonal. As a result, a number of simulators/assemblers/debuggers have been produced to support teaching of, and development on, MIPS. The focus has been to support that of teaching assembly language programming or computer architecture. MipsPilot is a MIPS simulator with features that are tailored for the support of a compiler design course. This paper discusses desirable features of an assembly language simulator for a compiler designer, and compares MipsPilot with two popular MIPS simulators.
