Suitable for anyone interested in MIPS R4000 and R4400 RISC microprocessors, this manual describes the MIPS R4000 and R4400 family of RISC microprocessors - including the 32-bit and the new 64- bit architecture and instruction set. It also discusses the MIPS RISC Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), including the 64-bit extensions of the ISA.
