Instruction Set Architecture
|
|
|
|
___Not Microarchitecture___
|
|
- Physical implementation of ISA
|
|
|
|
- Abstract model of a computer
|
|
- CPU is an implementation
|
|
- Defines
|
|
- Data types
|
|
- Registers
|
|
- Hardware support for main memory
|
|
- Features
|
|
- Memory consistency
|
|
- Addressing modes
|
|
- Virtual memory
|
|
- Specifies behaviour of machine code
|
|
- Binary compatibility
|
|
- Allows many implementations

# Complexity
|
|
|
|
## Complex
|
|
- CISC
|
|
- Complex instruction set computer
|
|
|
|
## Reduced
|
|
- RISC
|
|
- Reduced instruction set computer
|
|
- Simplifies processor
|
|
- Implementing only frequent instructions
|
|
- Less frequent as subroutines
|
|
- Typically requires less transistors than CISC
|
|
- Improves
|
|
- Cost
|
|
- Power consumption
|
|
- Heat dissipation
