4. Base Addressing

4. Base Addressing

  • Base addressing is also known as indirect addressing.
  • The address of the operand is the sum of the immediate and the value in a register (rs). The size of operand is limited to 16 bits because each MIPS instruction fits into a word.
  • This is used in the lw and sw (load word, store word) instructions.
  • The offset value is a signed number which is represented in a two's complement format.
