MIPS R4000 Microprocessor User's Manual A-99
CPU Instruction Set Details
Format:
LW rt, offset(base)
Description:
The 16-bit offset is sign-extended and added to the contents of general
register base to form a virtual address. The contents of the word at the
memory location specified by the effective address are loaded into general
register rt. In 64-bit mode, the loaded word is sign-extended. If either of
the two least-significant bits of the effective address is non-zero, an
address error exception occurs.
Operation:
Exceptions:
TLB refill exception TLB invalid exception
Bus error exception Address error exception
