  2. Comparison of instruction set architectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instruction...

    An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer, also referred to as computer architecture.A realization of an ISA is called an implementation.An ISA permits multiple implementations that may vary in performance, physical size, and monetary cost (among other things); because the ISA serves as the interface between software and hardware.

  3. Instruction set architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture

    A given instruction set can be implemented in a variety of ways. All ways of implementing a particular instruction set provide the same programming model, and all implementations of that instruction set are able to run the same executables. The various ways of implementing an instruction set give different tradeoffs between cost, performance ...

  5. x86 instruction listings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings

    The x86 instruction set refers to the set of instructions that x86-compatible microprocessors support. The instructions are usually part of an executable program, often stored as a computer file and executed on the processor. The x86 instruction set has been extended several times, introducing wider registers and datatypes as well as new ...

  6. Minimal instruction set computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_instruction_set...

    Minimal instruction set computer (MISC) is a central processing unit (CPU) architecture, usually in the form of a microprocessor, with a very small number of basic operations and corresponding opcodes, together forming an instruction set. Such sets are commonly stack-based rather than register-based to reduce the size of operand specifiers.

  7. Complex instruction set computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_instruction_set...

    A complex instruction set computer (CISC / ˈ s ɪ s k /) is a computer architecture in which single instructions can execute several low-level operations (such as a load from memory, an arithmetic operation, and a memory store) or are capable of multi-step operations or addressing modes within single instructions.

  8. Application-specific instruction set processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific...

    An application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP) is a component used in system on a chip design. The instruction set architecture of an ASIP is tailored to benefit a specific application. This specialization of the core provides a tradeoff between the flexibility of a general purpose central processing unit (CPU) and the performance of ...

  9. Explicit data graph execution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_data_graph_execution

    Explicit data graph execution, or EDGE, is a type of instruction set architecture (ISA) which intends to improve computing performance compared to common processors like the Intel x86 line. EDGE combines many individual instructions into a larger group known as a "hyperblock". Hyperblocks are designed to be able to easily run in parallel.
