What is MIPS?

MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) is a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by MIPS Technologies. It's commonly used in embedded systems, networking equipment, and historically in workstations and game consoles. MIPS is known for its simplicity and efficiency, making it suitable for resource-constrained environments. While its presence in desktop computers has diminished, it remains significant in embedded applications.
