About:
QtSpim is a graphical user interface for the SPIM MIPS32 simulator, providing a complete environment for running and debugging assembly language programs. It offers an intuitive interface for loading, assembling, and executing MIPS assembly code while displaying processor state and memory contents. The tool is essential for computer architecture education, allowing students to visualize and understand low-level processor operations.
Key Features:
  • Graphical interface for SPIM MIPS simulator
  • Real-time register and memory visualization
  • Step-by-step debugging capabilities
  • MIPS32 instruction set support
  • Integrated assembly editor
Use Cases:
  • Computer architecture and assembly language education
  • MIPS processor simulation and debugging
  • Low-level programming instruction and experimentation
Alternatives:
  • MARS – Another MIPS simulator with similar features but different UI approach
  • SPIM CLI – Command-line version without graphical interface
