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) ...

This paper presents an instruction set simulator of an 8-bit, MCS-51 compatible CPU core, and shows how to use it in embedded software development process; Method to control and debug CPU using ...

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 ...

Hello all, I have a question regarding CPU instruction sets. I have heard that the aging x86 instruction set is holding back progress, so to speak. So I was thinking about what would make a better, ...

This proposed instruction set is intended to run on both virtual and physical incarnations of the 4-Bit HRRG Computer As you may recall, my chum Chewy is interested in designing and building a 4-bit ...

When developing software for small microcontrollers, it is common to use assembly language in the final product. But there is still much value in prototyping the software and its algortihms in C. Here ...

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 ...

Introduced in 1998, 3DNow! was AMD's answer to the growing multimedia demands being placed on the K6-2 silicon of the day. Today AMD has announced that the instruction set is being deprecated. AMD ...

The news that Nvidia NVDA is in talks to buy Arm Holdings from SoftBank raises an interesting question. Does this change Arm’s model of being a neutral provider of chip technology to everybody from ...
