UC Berkeley's intro to computer architecture course still uses MIPS for projects and exam questions.

Who else used (uses?) SPIM for this?

https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/spim.html ... and apparently its being kept up to date https://spimsimulator.sourceforge.net with new builds about every other year.

(I took the class from Professor Miller in... '92... Operating systems in... '94? 95? was from Professor Larus)
