Gerry Kane:
"MIPS RISC Architecture"
(C) 1988 MIPS Computer Systems
publ. by Prentice-Hall
ISBN 0-13-584749-4


That's the reference book for the R2000/R3000. It's not a textbook but
includes a nice introduction into the RISC concept in general, without
becoming "glossy". The R2000 is nice to deal with, it has delayed
branches, but no instruction stalling. If your course is not targeted to
the hazards of RISC code, but assembler programming in general, I'd
consider it a good choice---especially in conjunction with the "SPIM"
simulator by James Larus.
