+Project 1 - MIPS Matrix Multiplier
+
+ My approach to this project was to use my existing skills with
+relatively higher-architecture operating system/kernel to better
+understand the relatively lower-level CPU operations: 'top-down' rather
+than 'bottom-up'. I started by writing an equivalent program in C along
+with a makefile that specifies a compilation routine that results in a
+rather unoptimized binary, important for later reasons. I compiled on an
+intel i386 single-core 32-bit pentium chip (on an old thinkpad) in order
+to get the least complicated instructions. I stripped the ELF
+headers/footers and translated the sequence of opcodes into readable x86
+ASM.
+
+This is where I started to get a feel for how this program was working
+on the instruction level. I then changed the compilation options to
+instead cross-compile and target an older Longsoon 32-bit MIPS platform,
+suitable for this course. After adjusting the optimization settings, I
+was able to come up with an instruction file suitable for this
+assignment (specifically, it did not use any MIPS64, multithreaded, or
+pseudo-instructions prohibited by the handout). I then ran it through
+MARS to guarantee operability on the professor's end.
