Tutorial 2 highlights :
# MIPS register convention - $v0~$v1 ; $a0~$a3 ; $t0~$t7 ; $s0~$s7 ; $t8~$t9 ; $sp ; $ra
# Memory - Data, Instruction, Stack
# Memory type - Big-endian (e.g. MIPS) or Little-endian
# Register is different from Memory/Cache. (Although all of them can be used for storage)
# MIPS program example - Looping by using counter, stop condition, base address ...

Tutorial 1 highlights :
# MIPS instructions formats : R-type, I-type, J-type
# All arithmetic and logical operations can be done with registers and immediate numbers only, NOT directly on data memory.
# LW/SW instructions are used to transfer the contents between data memory and registers.
# All real instructions are 1-word (32bits / 4bytes)
# Pseudo instructions are converted by the compiler into real instruction(s). e.g. bge/ble/blt/bgt=slt+beq/bne . .
