The licenses page details gplcompatibility and terms and conditions. Spim mips simulator university of wisconsinmadison. It reads and executes assembly language programs written for this processor. You need to tell it that thats what you want explictly, otherwise it will just keep on executing the next instruction so it will end up in an infinite loop where it executes addmeth and then the print integer syscall over and over the exit syscall in spimmars is number 10, i.
