Prompted by the chipmaker's announcement of the SSE5 instruction-set extensions, Glaskowsky analyzes the ultimate outcome to this old controversy. Peter N. Glaskowsky is a computer architect in ...

Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is a set of instructions defined for the processor’s architecture. These are the instructions that the processor understands. It defines the hardware and software ...

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 ...

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 ...

An open standard called RISC-V is rewriting the economics of chip design and shaking up the tech sector’s power dynamics. RISC-V is one of MIT Technology Review’s 10 Breakthrough Technologies of 2023.

What is RISC-V? The basics of RISC-V. Applications and uses of RISC-V. RISC-V is described as an open standard instruction set architecture (ISA) that's based on the reduced instruction set computer ...

Despite what has been written (and rewritten) about the potential obsolescence of platforms based on RISC processors, they keep on going and going. Indeed, RISC processors have never been more ...
