| % TODO: Source for these operations being used in MIPS education? | |
| The simple ALU generally used in MIPS education (when discussing | |
| specifically its implementation) supports eight operations, taking a | |
| 3-bit operation code. However, this is limited in ability, as many | |
| instructions that SWIM requires cannot be supported with only eight ALU | |
| operations. The eight-operation ALU can perform the following | |
| operations: \emph{add}, \emph{subtract}, \emph{unsigned compare}, | |
| \emph{signed compare}, \emph{bitwise and}, \emph{bitwise or}, \emph{left | |
| shift 16}, and \emph{bitwise not}. Operations such as \emph{multiply}, | |
| \emph{xor}, and so on, are missing. For this project, as outlined by the | |
| control signals in Section \ref{subsec:control-signals}, we use an | |
| extended version of the simple eight-operation ALU, where the operation | |
| code has been expanded to four bits, allowing for 16 total operations. | |
| The original eight are preserved, as those are commonly used in | |
| education, and additional operations follow after. |
