Crafting an isa - computer architecture, Computer Engineering

Assignment Help:

Crafting an ISA:

We will look at some decisions facing an instruction set architect, and
In the design of the MIPS instruction set how those decisions were made.
MIPS, such as PowerPC, SPARC and Alpha AXP, is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) ISA.
few instruction formats
load/store architecture
fixed instruction length
RISC architectures worked due to the reason they enabled pipelining. They carry on thriving because they enable parallelism.
