# MIPS-Simulator

![build](https://github.com/skyzh/mips-simulator/workflows/build/badge.svg)

A functional MIPS CPU simulator implemented in Haskell.

A year ago, I implemented
[a RISC-V simulator in C++](https://github.com/skyzh/RISCV-Simulator).
I had long dreamed of using a functional programming language to express
the circuit of a CPU. But at that time, implementing lazy-evalution
in C++ is slow and painful. So the semester in Computer Architecture
course, I made this MIPS simulator.

As functional programming language works well in expressing this
hardware circuit logic, I'm implementing [A MIPS CPU](https://github.com/skyzh/mips-cpu),
just by directly translating Haskell into Verilog.

All CPU and CPU simulators I've made are listed below.

## Usage

Currently I haven't implemented a command-line interface for interacting with
this simulator. You can only run tests or hack it yourself for now.

Install [Stack](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/) and simply run:

```bash
stack test
```
