27 Mar RISC

Reduced Instruction Set Computer is an attempt to design chips with simpler instruction sets so they can achieve greater cycle speeds. It was thought through the late 1980s and early 1990s that RISC might replace CISC chips as the brains of most computers. As of this writing, the RISC and CISC models coexist. In some future world, at the end of code as we know it, the instruction set may shrink further…
