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) ...
Instruction-set simulation is a well established method for a variety of uses: as tool for architecture exploration of next-generation architectures, as reference model for design verification, and as ...
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 ...
First, architecture basics are detailed with information on the register sets, data types, and memory and instruction formats. Next, instruction set extensions are detailed, which include Intel® ...
If instruction sets didn't matter, processors would be cheaper and designers would have more options. That's why one startup's efforts are so intriguing. Every microprocessor is different, in part ...
RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is designed in a modular way. It means that the ISA has several groups of instructions (ISA extensions) that can be enabled or disabled as needed. This allows ...
