The '''MIPS32 instruction set''' is an instruction set standard published in 1999 that was promulgated by [[MIPS Technologies]] after its [[Wikipedia:demerger|demerger]] from [[Silicon Graphics]] in 1998. The MIPS32 instruction set was developed along side the {{mips|MIPS64 Instruction Set}} which includes 64-bit instructions. The MIP32 standard included {{mips|coprocessor 0}} control instructions for the first time. Today, the MIP32 instruction set is the most common MIPS instruction set, compatible with most {{mips|CPUs}}. Due to its relative simplicity, the MIP32 instruction set is also the most common instruction set taught in computer architecture university courses.
 +
 
 +
The latest MIPS32 revision is revision 5, which added a set of new memory-efficient operations for large memory footprint applications.
 +
 
 +
== History ==
 +
The MIPS32 instruction set architecture was first published in 1999 by [[MIPS Technologies]] by it has demerged from [[Silicon Graphics]] in 1998. MIPS32 is largely a superset of the {{mips|MIPS II}} ISA.
 +
 
 +
=== Release 2 ===
 +
Release 2 was first introduced in revision 1 of the MIPS32 ISA in 2002. Release 2 added 20 new instructions: {{mips|DI}}, {{mips|EHB}}, {{mips|EI}}, {{mips|EXT}}, {{mips|INS}}, {{mips|JALR.HB}}, {{mips|JR.HB}}, {{mips|MFHC1}}, {{mips|MFHC2}}, {{mips|MTHC1}}, {{mips|MTHC2}}, {{mips|RDHWR}}, {{mips|RDPGPR}}, {{mips|ROTR}}, {{mips|ROTRV}}, {{mips|SEB}}, {{mips|SEH}}, {{mips|SYNCI}}, {{mips|WRPGPR}}, and {{mips|WSBH}}. Release 2 also added support for 64-bit FPUs.
 +
 
 +
=== Release 3 ===
 +
Release 3 was first introduced in revision 3 of the MIPS32 ISA in 2010. The release added the {{mips|JALX}} instruction.
 +
 
 +
=== Release 4 ===
 +
Release 4 was skipped because MIPS Technologies was being auctioned off. Officially the reason was given as "Release 4 because the number four is considered by many to be inauspicious or unlucky".<ref>[http://withimagination.imgtec.com/index.php/mips-processors/continuing-evolution-of-the-mips-instruction-set-architecture#sthash.4uCPPXKz.dpuf The continuing evolution of the MIPS Instruction Set Architecture]</ref>
  
 +
=== Release 5 ===
 +
Release 5 was announced in late 2012. The release added a new set of instructions called '''Enhanced Virtual Addressing''' (EVA) to allow more efficient use of memory of larger footprint kernels. The following EVA Load/Store instructions were added: {{mips|LBE}}, {{mips|LBUE}}, {{mips|LHE}}, {{mips|LHUE}}, {{mips|LWE}}, {{mips|SBE}}, {{mips|SHE}}, {{mips|SWE}}, {{mips|CACHEE}}, {{mips|PREFE}}, {{mips|LLE}}, {{mips|SCE}}, {{mips|LWLE}}, {{mips|LWRE}}, {{mips|SWLE}}, {{mips|SWRE}}.

The MIPS32 instruction set is an instruction set standard published in 1999 that was promulgated by MIPS Technologies after its demerger from Silicon Graphics in 1998. The MIPS32 instruction set was developed along side the MIPS64 Instruction Set which includes 64-bit instructions. The MIP32 standard included coprocessor 0 control instructions for the first time. Today, the MIP32 instruction set is the most common MIPS instruction set, compatible with most CPUs. Due to its relative simplicity, the MIP32 instruction set is also the most common instruction set taught in computer architecture university courses.

The latest MIPS32 revision is revision 5, which added a set of new memory-efficient operations for large memory footprint applications.

History[edit]

The MIPS32 instruction set architecture was first published in 1999 by MIPS Technologies by it has demerged from Silicon Graphics in 1998. MIPS32 is largely a superset of the MIPS II ISA.

Release 2[edit]

Release 2 was first introduced in revision 1 of the MIPS32 ISA in 2002. Release 2 added 20 new instructions: DI, EHB, EI, EXT, INS, JALR.HB, JR.HB, MFHC1, MFHC2, MTHC1, MTHC2, RDHWR, RDPGPR, ROTR, ROTRV, SEB, SEH, SYNCI, WRPGPR, and WSBH. Release 2 also added support for 64-bit FPUs.

Release 3[edit]

Release 3 was first introduced in revision 3 of the MIPS32 ISA in 2010. The release added the JALX instruction.

Release 4[edit]

Release 4 was skipped because MIPS Technologies was being auctioned off. Officially the reason was given as "Release 4 because the number four is considered by many to be inauspicious or unlucky".[1]

Release 5[edit]

Release 5 was announced in late 2012. The release added a new set of instructions called Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) to allow more efficient use of memory of larger footprint kernels. The following EVA Load/Store instructions were added: LBE, LBUE, LHE, LHUE, LWE, SBE, SHE, SWE, CACHEE, PREFE, LLE, SCE, LWLE, LWRE, SWLE, SWRE.
