In computer science, an instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer. It’s also referred to as architecture or computer architecture. Moreover, a central processing unit (CPU) ...

First and foremost, RISC-V is a modular, open-source, instruction set definition and nothing more. RISC-V as an ecosystem is much more. The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but it ...

Arm Holdings plc plans to cancel a license that gives Qualcomm Inc. permission to use its instruction set architecture in chips. Bloomberg reported the development today. Qualcomm, the world’s top ...

RISC-V is, like x86 and ARM, an instruction set architecture (ISA). Unlike x86 and ARM, it is a free and open standard that anyone can use without getting locked into someone else's processor designs ...

A computer processor uses a so-called Instruction Set Architecture to talk with the world outside of its own circuitry. This ISA consists of a number of instructions, which essentially define the ...

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 ...

Users of the ARM7 architecture are familiar with the distinction between the original ARM (32-bit) instruction set and the Thumb 16-bit instruction set. At the simplest, you use the 32-bit instruction ...

I have been working on an Instruction Set Architecture as a hobby for a long time. I'm ready to put it on Ars Technica for discussion. Of course this Architecture is only in the proposal stage.

A technical paper titled “Energy-Efficient Exposed Datapath Architecture With a RISC-V Instruction Set Mode” was published by researchers at Tampere University. “Transport triggered architectures ...
