| | Complex Instruction Set Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) is a microprocessor instruction set architecture (ISA) in which each instruction can execute several low-level operations, such as a load from memory, an arithmetic operation, and a memory store, all in a single instruction. | | | Additionally, the compact nature of a CISC ISA results in smaller program sizes and fewer calls to main memory, which at the time (the 1960s) resulted in a tremendous savings on the cost of a computer. | | | Examples of CISC processors are the VAX, PDP-11, Motorola 68000 family and the Intel x86/Pentium CPUs. |

| | CISC vs RISC |
| | CISC is an acronym for Complex Instruction Set Computer and are chips that are easy to program and which make efficient use of memory. | | | The ease of microcoding new instructions allowed designers to make CISC machines upwardly compatible: a new computer could run the same programs as earlier computers because the new computer would contain a superset of the instructions of the earlier computers. | | | Since the earliest machines were programmed in assembly language and memory was slow and expensive, the CISC philosophy made sense, and was commonly implemented in such large computers as the PDP-11 and the DECsystem 10 and 20 machines. |

| | CISC - Complex Instruction Set Computer |
| | CISC microprocessor work faster than RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) microprocessors on complex instructions but are slower with simple tasks and instructions. | | | CISC is a CPU design that enables the processor to handle more complex instructions from the software at the expense of speed. | | | A design philosophy for computers whereby the processor is designed to execute a relatively large number of different instructions, each taking a different amount of time to execute (depending on the complexity of the instruction). |

| | It fails because RISC and CISC are not so much technologies as they are design strategies--approaches to achieving a specific set of goals that were defined in relation to a particular set of problems. | | | After charting the historical development of the RISC and CISC design strategies, and situating those philosophies in their proper historical/technological context, I’ll discuss the idea of a post-RISC processor, and show how such processors don't fit neatly into the RISC and CISC categories. | | | Perhaps the most common approach to comparing RISC and CISC is to list the features of each and place them side-by-side for comparison, discussing how each feature aids or hinders performance. |

| | CISC is a philosophy for designing CPUs that are easy to program. | | | The CISC philosophy might include the use of microcode, as well as rich and high level instruction sets, which might map directly to high level languages. | | | RISC means "reduced instruction set computing" while CISC means "complex instruction set computing." Before we compare, I'd just like to say that RISC does not really mean "reduced instruction set" any more than CISC means that the instructions are more complex. |

| | CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) is a retroactive definition that was introduced to distinguish the design from RISC microprocessors. | | | Due to the high cost of memory and storage CISC microprocessors were considered superior due to the requirements for small, fast code. | | | In contrast to RISC, CISC chips have a large amount of different and complex instruction. |

| | Since CISC machines perform complex actions with a single instruction, where RISC machines may require multiple instructions for the same action, code expansion can be a problem. | | | As with CISC computers, the ideal is not always achieved. | | | Pipelining is a design technique where the computer's hardware processes more than one instruction at a time, and doesn't wait for one instruction to complete before starting the next. |

| | complex instruction set computer - a Whatis.com definition - see also: CISC |
| | The term "CISC" (complex instruction set computer or computing) refers to computers designed with a full set of computer instructions that were intended to provide needed capabilities in the most efficient way. | | | RISC takes each of the longer, more complex instructions from a CISC design and reduces it to multiple instructions that are shorter and faster to process. | | | Since this was called reduced instruction set computing (RISC), there was now a need to have something to call full-set instruction computers - thus, the term CISC. |

| | Instruction Set Complexity: CISC vs. RISC |
| | CISC stands for complex instruction set computer and is the name given to processors that use a large number of complicated instructions, to try to do more work with each one. | | | RISC stands for reduced instruction set computer and is the generic name given to processors that use a small number of simple instructions, to try to do less work with each instruction but execute them much faster. | | | This is especially true because once a platform makes an instruction set decision, it tends to stick with it in order to ensure compatibility with existing software. |

| | This was also true of the early CISC processors, but these days a typical CISC processor has a heart which executes microcode instructions which correlate to the instructions passed into the processor. | | | Today it is wrong to claim that CISC processors execute the complex instructions more slowly, modern processors can execute most complex instructions with one cycle. | | | A Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) provides a large and powerful range of instructions, which is less flexible to implement. |
