An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...

In computer science, an instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer. It’s also referred to as architecture or computer architecture. Moreover, a central processing unit (CPU) ...

IBM solved this problem with the introduction of the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and the microcode engine in the 60s. Specifically, the launch of the microcoded IBM System/360 ushered in ...

We can look at its internal block diagram and get how it works, see the registers and ALU, follow the principles of a von Neumann architecture, and understand that it has an instruction set with ...

For example, the instruction 'mpsadbw' is 6-7 bytes long and compares a sequence of 4 bytes at multiple positions in an 11-byte sequence.

Evaluation methodology/metrics and caveats, instruction set design, advanced pipelining, instruction level parallelism, prediction-based techniques, alternative architectures (VLIW, Vector and SIMD), ...

“RISC architecture is gonna change everything.” Those absurdly geeky, incredibly prophetic words were spoken 30 years ago. Today, they’re somehow truer than ever.

Now Loongson is trying something new: rather than adopt RISC-V, ARM, or x86 architecture, the company has developed its own ISA (instruction set architecture) called LoongArch.

Reduced Instruction Set Computer Architecture (RISC) is an instruction set architecture (ISA) which implies a basic bridge between hardware and software. RISC enables the communication between an ...

Currently, SoftBank-backed chipmaker Arm Holdings licenses its RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) technology to chipmakers like MediaTek and Qualcomm, who then develop processors for ...
