I am not going to post lecture notes -- just electronic versions of the handouts I may bring to lectures from time to time.

• Tue, Jan 22 (PDF format). This document is incomplete--students were supposed to mark it up to show where addresses and data were flowing as instructions got executed.
• Thu, Jan 31 (PDF format). Front page has diagrams showing SPIM memory address space organization. Back page has an example of solving the a-register conflict problem by copying incoming arguments to s-registers.
• Tue, Feb 5 (PDF format). Front page has an example of solving the a-register conflict problem by copying incoming arguments to stack slots. Back page has an example of putting local variables in memory within a stack frame.

  Correction, Sun Mar 23: In Figure 5.37, the control signals should be RegDst = 0; RegWrite; MemtoReg= 1. (By mistake I used a graphics file from an older printing of the textbook, which had a typographical error. If you have thlee 3rd Edition, Revised Printing, you will see correct information on page 338.)
