(October 2016) (Learn how and when to delete this template message) Sun UltraSPARC, a microprocessor RISC reduced computer set of instructions, or RISC (/rɪsk/), is a computer with a small, highly optimized set of instructions, rather than a more specialized set, often found in other types of architecture, such as a complex computer set of instructions (CISC). The main hallmark of the RISC architecture is the optimization of a set of instructions with a large number of registers and a highly regular line of instructions, allowing for a low number of hourly cycles per instruction (CPI). Another common feature of RISC is the load/shop architecture, in which memory is available through certain instructions, rather than as part of most of the instructions in the set. Although a number of computers of the 1960s and 1970s were identified as precursors to RISCs, the modern concept dates back to the 1980s. In particular, two projects at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley are most associated with the popularization of this concept. Stanford MIPS will continue to commercialize as a successful MIPS architecture, while RISC Berkeley gave its name to the entire concept and was commercialized as SPARC. Other successes of this era were IBM's efforts, which eventually led to the architecture of ibm's POWER, PowerPC, and Power ISA. As these projects developed in the late 1980s and especially in the early 1990s, various similar projects flourished, an important force in the Unix workstation market, as well as built-in processors in laser printers, routers and similar products. Many varieties of RISC designs include ARC, Alpha, Am29000, ARM, Atmel AVR, Blackfin, i860, i960, M88000, MIPS, PA-RISC, Power ISA (including PowerPC), RISC-V, SuperH, and SPARC. The use of ARM processors in smartphones and tablets, such as iPad and Android devices, has provided a broad user base for RISC-based systems. RISC processors are also used in supercomputers such as Fugaku, which is the fastest supercomputer in the world from June 2020. The history and development of Alan Turing's 1946 Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) design had many characteristics of the RISC architecture. A number of systems, in the 1960s, were credited as the first RISC architecture, partly based on their use load/shop approach. The term RISC was coined by David Patterson of the RISC project Berkeley, though, several similar concepts have appeared before. CDC 6600 developed by Seymour Kray in 1964 a download/shop architecture with only two address modes (registration and registration) and 74 work codes, with a base cycle of hours 10 times faster than the time of access to memory. Partly because of the optimized load architecture/store of the CDC 6600, Jack Dongarra says it can be considered a precursor to modern RISC systems, although a number of other technical barriers need to be overcome to develop the modern RISC system. IBM PowerPC 601 RISC Microprocessor Michael Flynn sees the first RISC system as the IBM 801 design, launched in 1975 by John Koke and completed in 1980. The 801 was eventually released in the form of a single chip, like IBM ROMP in 1981, which was behind the OPD Research (Office Products Department) Microprocessor. This processor was designed for mini tasks and was also used in the IBM RT PC in 1986, which turned out to be a commercial failure. But the 801 inspired several research projects, including new ones at IBM, that eventually led to the architecture of IBM POWER's set of instructions. In the mid-1970s, researchers (particularly IBM's John Cowock and similar projects elsewhere) demonstrated that most combinations of these orthogonal address modes and instructions were not used by most of the programs generated by compilers available at the time. In many cases, it has proved difficult to write a compiler with more than limited ability to take advantage of the functions provided by conventional processors. It was also found that when some architectures are microcoding, complex operations tend to be slower than a sequence of simpler operations that do the same. This was partly a consequence of the fact that many projects were hasty, with little time to optimize or customize each instruction; optimized only those that are used most often, and the sequence of these instructions may be faster than the less configured instruction, performing the equivalent operation as this sequence. One infamous example is the VAX INDEX instruction. As mentioned elsewhere, basic memory has long been slower than many CPU projects. The advent of semiconductor memory reduced this difference, but it was still clear that more registers (and then caches) would allow for higher processor speeds. Additional registers would require significant areas of the chip or board, which at the time (1975) could be available if the complexity of the processor logic was reduced. The most public projects of RISC, however, were the results of university research programs launched with the funding of the DARPA VLSI program. The VLSI program, virtually unknown today, has led to a huge number of advances in chip design, manufacturing and even computer The Berkeley RISC project was launched in 1980 under the direction of David Patterson and Carlo H. Payet. Berkeley RISC was based on receiving a receipt of using pipelines and aggressive use of a method known as window registration. The traditional processor has a small number of registers, and the program can use any register at any time. There are a huge number of registers in the registration window processor, for example, 128, but programs can only use a small number of them, for example, eight, at any given time. A program that limits itself to eight registers per procedure can make very quick procedural calls: the call simply moves the window down by eight, to a set of eight registers used by this procedure, and the return moves the window back. The Berkeley RISC project delivered the RISC-I processor in 1982. Comprised of only 44,420 transistors (compared to an average of about 100,000 in new CISC era designs) RISC-I had only 32 instructions, and at the same time completely surpassed any other single chip design. They followed this with a 40,760 transistor, 39 by the RISC-II instruction in 1983, which ran over three times as fast as the RISC-I. The MIPS project grew from John L. Hennessy's postgraduate studies at Stanford University in 1981, resulting in the launch of the system in 1983, and by 1984 it was possible to run simple programs. MiPS's approach highlighted the aggressive cycle of hours and the use of the pipeline, making sure that it can be launched as full as possible. MIPS was followed by MIPS-X, and in 1984 Hennessy and his colleagues formed MIPS Computer Systems. The commercial enterprise led to the creation of a new architecture, also called MIPS and the R2000 microprocessor, in 1985. Prototype chip RISC-V (2013). In the early 1980s, the concept of RISC was a significant uncertainty, and it was not clear whether it could have a commercial future, but by the mid-1980s these concepts had matured on a sufficiently commercially viable basis. In 1986, Hewlett Packard began using the early implementation of its PA-RISC in some of its computers. Meanwhile, Berkeley RISC's efforts became so famous that they eventually became a name for the whole concept and in 1987 Sun Microsystems began supplying systems with a SPARC processor directly based on the Berkeley RISC-II system. The U.S. Government Committee on Innovation in Computing and Communications attributes the recognition of the viability of the RISC concept to the success of the SPARC system. The success of SPARC renewed interest in IBM, which released new RISC systems by 1990, and by 1995 RISC processors had become the backbone of the $15 billion server industry. Since 2010, a new open source instructional (ISA) architecture, RISC-V, has been under development at the University of California, Berkeley, for research purposes and as a alternatives to nonfree ISAs. By 2014, version 2 of the isA user space has been corrected. ISA designed to be elongated from the core of barebones barebones For a small built-in processor for the use of supercomputers and cloud computing with standard and chip designer defined extensions and coprocessors. It has been tested in a silicon design with ROCKET SoC, which is also available as an open source generator in chisel.

In fact, over the years, RISC's set of instructions has grown in size, and today many of them have a larger set of instructions than many CISC processors. Some RISC processors, such as PowerPC, have set of instructions as large as, for example, CISC IBM System/370; Conversely, the DEC PDP-8 is obviously a CISC processor, because many of its instructions include multiple memory access, only 8 basic instructions and several extended instructions.
