Material Detail

In the context of computer organization and computer architecture, this tutorial breaks down the three instruction types (r, j, i) to show how they are different and what those differences are. It also steps each type through a simplified diagram of the processor's datapath to further illustrate how the different encodings behave in the hardware. THe instructions and the datapath are a simplified version of the MIPS Instruction Set Architecture, called PLP ISA.
