In MIPS CPU architecture, we know there are instruction memory and data memory,I do not understand whether they are both SRAM,and if yes, are they the same Sram?Thanks
 

It can be SRAM or any other types of storage component. Realistically, SRAM is the most likely choice.
 
Instruction Memory and Data Memory act as Cache for providing fast access. Normally Cache are made up of SRAM. So most likely, Instruction Memory and Data Memory are SRAM
 
thanks for your help!

thanks for your reply!
Except Instruction memory stores instructions while Data Memory stores datas,are there any other differences? Like control signals,for example,clk,readmem,writemem,datain,dataout?
