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 set of basic operations a computer must support. This includes the functional definition of operations and precise descriptions of how to invoke and ...

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 ...

Now Loongson is trying something new: rather than adopt RISC-V, ARM, or x86 architecture, the company has developed its own ISA (instruction set architecture) called LoongArch.

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 ...

The RISC-V instruction set architecture is an open framework that allows design of a customized processor that can leverage tools and software libraries created for the standard versions.

Last week, Chinese processor company Loongson announced plans to release a new instruction set architecture. Loongson is known for processors based on the MIPS architecture, and is linked to the ...

IBM solved this problem with the introduction of the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and the microcode engine in the 60s. Specifically, the launch of the microcoded IBM System/360 ushered in ...

The new instruction set includes explicit support for multi-threading on an embedded core, something that had been defined for servers. In addition, page table support has been added to the embedded ...

However, Microsoft is seemingly bringing changes to CPU instruction set architecture (ISA) support that could define how successful the attempts to run Windows 11 24H2 on very old systems will be.
