## Historique du projet et usages

SPIM is James Larus's long-running MIPS32 simulator, packaged as a terminal simulator and historically accompanied by graphical variants for teaching assembly language and computer architecture.

### Historique du projet

The official site says SPIM reads and executes MIPS32 assembly programs, provides a simple debugger and minimal operating-system services, and includes source code and documentation. Its copyright notice spans 1990 to 2023.

### Historique d'adoption

SPIM persisted in package collections because it was a compact teaching tool with a stable command-line interface. The input facts list Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Ubuntu, and winget packages.

### Modes d'utilisation

The terminal `spim` program is used to run assembly-language programs for the simulator, while QtSpim provides a cross-platform GUI. The official site says older PCSpim and xspim interfaces remain available but are no longer maintained.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Package maintainers care about SPIM because it is classic educational infrastructure: small, stable, source-available, and useful on lab machines where students need the same MIPS simulator from a package manager.

### Chronologie

- 1990: Copyright period begins for James R. Larus's SPIM codebase.
- Pre-7.0: Older SPIM versions implemented the MIPS-I instruction set.
- 7.0 and later: SPIM moved to the MIPS32 architecture according to the older-versions page.
- 2023: ChangeLog records release 9.1.24 on August 4.
- 2023: Official site says SPIM is no longer supported and should retire.
