RISC vs . CISC – The Post - RISC Vasco Nuno
نویسنده
چکیده
This communication analyses the birth of RISC and CISC architectures and their evolution over the past 20 years. It gives an overview of the competition between both to win the performance race, by adding new features, mainly from the opposite side and in the end converging into what is now known as Post-RISC era. The communication complements this issue by taking a brief look into novel VLIW processors, Transmeta Crusoe and Intel Itanium with the new EPIC instruction set architecture.

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 کاملA Comparison of RISC and CISC Architectures
Both CISC and RISC architectures continue to be widely used. RISC processors are present in most embedded devices, while x86 is the most popular architecture for desktops. Since modern processors have to address both power consumption and performance, it is important to compare these architectures to support future project decisions. Keywords—RISC; CISC; comparison
