How to alias registers in MIPS32 asm?

Question

Is there a way to rename register in MIPS32 to make it easy to read ? Something like:

    #define $t0 $num_of_rows
    #define $t1 $num_of_cols
    ...

Thanks

If you're using a GNU toolchain then it would be:

#define num_of_rows $t0
#define num_of_cols $t1
