MARS (software)
MARS ( M IPS A ssembler and R untime S imulator ) is an emulator for the MIPS32 architecture developed at Missouri State University . This makes it possible to test or "execute" assembly code that was written for MIPS on other architectures (e.g. on an x86 processors ).
MARS is written in Java and is available for all operating systems for which there is a Java Virtual Machine . The MARS Simulator was developed specifically for educational purposes and is published under the MIT license . It is used at some universities to learn the assembly language.
