چکیده
In this lecture we discussed the classic architecture question of reduced instruction set computers (RISC) versus complex instruction set computers (CISC). Generally speaking, CISC refers to an instruction set architecture (ISA) in which there are many instructions, typically including both powerful and specialpurpose operations. In contrast, a RISC ISA is focused on a comparatively compact and efficient set of instructions, which can be used as building blocks for implementing more complicated operations.

rv8: a high performance RISC-V to x86 binary translator
Dynamic binary translation has a history of being used to ease transitions betweenCPU architectures[7], includingmicro-architectures. Modern x86 CPUs, while maintaining binary compatibility with their legacy CISC instruction set, have internal micro-architectures that resemble RISC. High performance x86micro-architectures have long used a CISC decoder front-end to crack complex instructions int...
متن کاملA Tale of Two Processors: Revisiting the RISC-CISC Debate
The contentious debates between RISC and CISC have died down, and a CISC ISA, the x86 continues to be popular. Nowadays, processors with CISC-ISAs translate the CISC instructions into RISC style micro-operations (eg: uops of Intel and ROPS of AMD). The use of the uops (or ROPS) allows the use of RISC-style execution cores, and use of various micro-architectural techniques that can be easily imp...
متن کاملThe Renewed Case for the Reduced Instruction Set Computer: Avoiding ISA Bloat with Macro-Op Fusion for RISC-V
This report makes the case that a well-designed Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) can match, and even exceed, the performance and code density of existing commercial Complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC) while maintaining the simplicity and cost-effectiveness that underpins the original RISC goals [12]. We begin by comparing the dynamic instruction counts and dynamic instruction bytes ...
متن کاملMicronet-based CISC Architectures
We have in the past investigated the design and implementation of micronet-based architectures of the scalar[AR94], superscalar[AM99], VLIW[AS97] and Multithreaded[AHKR01] kind, which were all based on a RISC-like instruction set. In this paper, we present a preliminary design, based around a micronet core, of an asynchronous Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) architecture. A TRANSLATOR mo...
متن کاملSimty: generalized SIMT execution on RISC-V
We present Simty, a massively multi-threaded RISC-V processor core that acts as a proof of concept for dynamic inter-thread vectorization at the micro-architecture level. Simty runs groups of scalar threads executing SPMD code in lockstep, and assembles SIMD instructions dynamically across threads. Unlike existing SIMD or SIMT processors like GPUs or vector processors, Simty vectorizes scalar g...
