jMIPS

A MIPS processor modeled in Java for educational purposes and aimed at undergraduate Computer Architecture courses. It presently runs MIPS 32-bit R3000 ELF executables on any platform where Java itself will run. Five successively more sophisticated models of a pipelined MIPS RISC processor are included. Though the code is deliberately kept clear and simple in order that readers are able to figure out how a real processor works through the medium of the code, it will soon be able to run a real Linux O/S kernel compiled for MIPS in Java - at what speed we don't know!
