As chip FIGURE 2-13 designers developed various instruction sets for microprocessors they Microprocessor designers have added increasingly complex instructions, each requiring several clock developed techniques for serial cycles for execution. microprocessor with such an instruction set uses processing, pipelining, and paral- CISC (complex instruction set computer) technology. A microprocessor with lel processing limited set of simple instructions uses RISC (reduced instruction set com- puter) technology. RISC processor performs most instructions faster than Instruction 3 CISC processor. might, however require more of these simple instruc- tions to complete : task than a CISC processor requires for the same task Instruction ...
