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

Last week, Chinese processor company Loongson announced plans to release a new instruction set architecture. Loongson is known for processors based on the MIPS architecture, and is linked to the ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

An instruction set architecture (ISA) defines the set of basic operations a computer must support. This includes the functional definition of operations and precise descriptions of how to invoke and ...

Design and understanding of the computer system as a whole unit. Performance Evaluation and its role in computer system design; Instruction Set Architecture design, Datapath design and optimizations ...

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 ...
