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 ...

In this article, we introduce a dual instruction-set architecture, “Dual-IS”, that implements both RISC-V and TTA instruction sets with shared datapath resources by means of a lightweight microcode ...

Arm is RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) based, while x86 is CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing). Arm’s CPU instructions are reasonably atomic, with a very close correlation between ...

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 … ...

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 ...

The primary aim of this paper is to improve the understanding of the performance and cost of implementing cryptographic algorithms for the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) in two cases: ...

A Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) design is based on an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that runs a limited number of simpler instructions than a Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC ...

As explained on Intel's official site for developers, the x86 architecture is now utilized in data centers, personal computers, and various other environments requiring performance-oriented CPUs ...

Phoronix has recently shared that the upcoming release of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is getting ready to embrace AMD's next-gen Zen 5 architecture. It's exciting to hear that Zen 5 will ...
