Lecture

MIPS Functions and Stack

Description

This lecture covers the MIPS Instruction Set Architecture, focusing on functions and the stack. It explains how functions are called and returned, the role of registers in function calls, and the use of the stack for memory management. The lecture also discusses the MIPS calling convention and the distinction between caller-saved and callee-saved registers.
