Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is a set of instructions defined for the processor’s architecture. These are the instructions that the processor understands. It defines the hardware and software ...

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) ...

A technical paper titled “Energy-Efficient Exposed Datapath Architecture With a RISC-V Instruction Set Mode” was published by researchers at Tampere University. “Transport triggered architectures ...

x86, the mainstream instruction set architecture for PC CPUs, originated from the Intel 8086 processor and has been in use for 46 years. Technology blog Hackaday claims that x86 will be extinct in the ...

RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is designed in a modular way. It means that the ISA has several groups of instructions (ISA extensions) that can be enabled or disabled as needed. This allows ...

ARC's configurable processor adds the ability to run both 16 and 32-bit instructions on a 32-bit architecture, allowing designers to reduce memory requirements by up to 30%, resulting in both lower ...

A multinational late-stage startup has emerged from stealth mode with some dramatic claims for its new microprocessor architecture, VISC, including the promise of a 2-4 times gain in performance over ...

Back in the early days of computing, manufacturers didn’t build a whole line of software-compatible computer systems where each system was aimed at a different price/performance point. Instead, each ...

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 ...
