title: MIPS Structural Hazard
body: <p>I'm trying to learn about MIPS pipe-lining and the hazards associated to them. I'm having trouble picturing what a <strong><em>structural hazard</em></strong> looks like in MIPS instructions.</p>
  
  <p>I've read that it is a situation where two (or more) instructions 
  require the use of a given hardware resource at the same time. And I've seen examples shown in clock cycles before. But can anyone just provide a simple MIPS instruction set example for me to see? I'm having difficulty finding one online. Just see lots of examples for data hazards and that's not what I'm looking for. Thanks!</p>
