9.24 MIPS Dependent Features

gnu as for mips architectures supports several different mips processors, and MIPS ISA levels I through V, MIPS32, and MIPS64. For information about the mips instruction set, see MIPS RISC Architecture, by Kane and Heindrich (Prentice-Hall). For an overview of mips assembly conventions, see “Appendix D: Assembly Language Programming” in the same work.
