Project drafts

Wednesday, the 5th of April we started to plan EduMIPS64 development. You can find more details here: EduMips64 first draft (in Italian).

Groups' Documentation

Here are some documents about the project development:

• A description of CPU pipeline, control/data hazard and FPU

• Core UML Class Diagram

• CPU UML Class Diagram ( .dia )

• Instruction set UML Class Diagram

• Memory Class Diagram ( .dia )

• Utils UML Class Diagram

Links

Here are some links that can be useful to EduMIPS64 developers:

• Online Java Tutorial for Internationalization (Example)

• An online simulator that contains a good description of the MIPS64 pipeline

• MIPS64 Manual - Volume II: Instruction Set (This will be useful in order to understand which WinMIPS64 instructions are real MIPS64 instructions)

Glossary

This section is here to answer some questions common among EduMIPS64 developers.

Wiki

A wiki is a web site that can be modified quickly. In fact many wikis allow even anonymous users to modify their content. But there is a problem: spam bots can seek for those wiki sites and delete their content or insert lots of trash. This is why we don't allow anonymous users to modify the content of our wiki. But you can login using the username/password couple edumips64 edumips64. This will keep spam bots away. :)

SSH

SSH stands for Secure SHell, and it is a powerful way to allow users to use remote machines. If you have an SSH account on a computer, and this computer is available via Internet, you can access and use it even if you are not physically touching it.

Sourceforge.net gives SSH access in order to modify the content of the web site, but since we use a Wiki we don't need to access via SSH.
