| | Reduced instruction set computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unfortunately, the term "reduced instruction set computer" is often mis-understood as claiming that there are fewer instructions in the instruction set of those machines. | | | The reduced instruction set computer, or RISC, is a microprocessor CPU design philosophy that favors a smaller and simpler set of instructions that all take about the same amount of time to execute. | | | However, this can be difficult to do, as many instructions in computing depend on the results of some other instruction. |

| | 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. | | | The term was coined in contrast to reduced instruction set computer (RISC). | | | Implementing all these complex instructions also required a great deal of work on the part of the chip designer, and many transistors; this left less room on the processor to optimize performance in other ways. |

| | RISC - a Whatis.com definition - see also: reduced instruction set computer |
| | RISC (reduced instruction set computer) is a microprocessor that is designed to perform a smaller number of types of computer instructions so that it can operate at a higher speed (perform more millions of instructions per second, or MIPS). | | | After the introduction of RISC, any "full-set" instruction computer was said to use complex instruction set computing (CISC). | | | Since each instruction type that a computer must perform requires additional transistors and circuitry, a larger list or set of computer instructions tends to make the microprocessor more complicated and slower in operation. |

| | What’s the Difference Between RISC and CISC |
| | Another computer family that is classified as a complex instruction set computer is the Motorola 68000 family. | | | Other typical complex instruction set computers include the IBM 370 and Intel's 80x86 line of computers. | | | Reduced instruction set machines, unlike complex instruction set machine, use same length instructions so that the instructions are aligned on word boundaries and may be fetched in a single operation [APPL]. |

| | ReRISC Reconfigurable Reduced Instruction Set Computer |
| | The mapping of instruction definitions into the computational array is independant of many array parameters, such as the size of the array. | | | A ratio of 2:1 in the computational array would imply that every 2 bits would have to perform an identical computation, but for most applications, that is not a great loss, since the granularity is often as coarse as 8:1. | | | The computational elements default to the MIT Beta ISA upon soft reset, which reduces redundant reconfiguration cycles. |

| | CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) is a retroactive definition that was introduced to distinguish the design from RISC microprocessors. | | | The term 'RISC' (short for Reduced Instruction Set Computer) was later coined by David Patterson, a teacher at the University of California in Berkeley. | | | The RISC concept was used to simplify the design of the IBM PC/XT, and was later used in the IBM RISC System/6000 and Sun Microsystems' SPARC microprocessors. |

| | OISC, by the way, is an acronym for One Instruction Set Computer, a fairly new term for computers with no opcode field in their instructions. | | | Reduced instruction set computer architectures have attracted considerable interest since 1980. | | | Some early drum machines, such as the British DEUCE computer, circa 1955, encoded the data part of their instruction set as a series of move instructions, but these machines typically also included a next-address field in each instruction, making them quite different from pure move machines. |

| | Thus, a computer could be designed with only simple instructions without drastically increasing the path length or number of instructions required to implement an application. | | | From the earliest days of computers until the early 1970s, the trend in computer architecture was toward increasing complexity. | | | Microcode was an implementation technique that greatly facilitated this trend; thus, most computers were implemented using microcode. |
