1. Comment on the major differences and similarities between the ARMv7 and MIPS instruction set architectures. Specifically, look at similarities and differences in register counts, register naming, instruction types, addressing, etc. You do not have to be exhaustive; 2-3 paragraphs is appropriate.

2. While MIPS and ARM are very similar, x86 is significantly different. Discuss the high-level differences between MIPS/ARM and x86 look toward design philosophy as well as ISAlevel comparisons (as in #1) where appropriate. Again, 2-3 paragraphs is appropriate.
