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 ...

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 ...

Rather than extend its 32-bit instruction set, Arm offers a clean 64-bit implementation. To accomplish this, the ARMv8 architecture uses two execution states, AArch32 and AArch64.

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 ...

At its core, RISC-V (Reduced Instruction Set Computing, “V” version) is an open-standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). In simpler terms, ...

An instruction set architecture, or ISA, defines the language in which a central processing unit expresses computations. The “words” of this language are instructions, ...

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 ...

The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but it doesn't specify how it's implemented, leading to the plethora of RISC-V cores, chips, and boards.

Chinese processor company Loongson Technology announced that its processor instruction set architecture (ISA), LoongArch, is now supported by the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) specification, meaning ...
