Format :
BEQ rs, rt, offset
Description :
Generates a branch target address by adding the address of the instruction in the delay slot to the 16-
bit offset (that has been left-shifted two bits and sign-extended to 32 bits). The contents of general
registers rs and rt are compared and, if equal, the program branches to the target address after a one-
cycle delay.
Operation :

condition ← (GPR[rs] = GPR[rt])
if condition then
PC ← PC + target
