RISC-V proponents say that this instruction set makes computer chip design more accessible to smaller companies and budding entrepreneurs by liberating them from costly licensing fees.

A big bet that RISC-V can make a dent in the AI market GlobalFoundries has acquired chip design firm MIPS, creating a company ...

First and foremost, RISC-V is a modular, open-source, instruction set definition and nothing more. RISC-V as an ecosystem is much more. The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but ...

R&D teams are 'separable' says biz, which is open to offers for parts or the whole European RISC-V biz Codasip has put itself ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

This paper presents an instruction set simulator of a 32-bit CPU and explains its use in embedded software development. Interaction of the ISS with transaction level model of a complex peripheral ...

Most processors run a single instruction set. But the ARM1026EJ-S implements four in hardware, including 32-bit ARM instructions, 16-bit ARM Thumb instructions, ARM DSP instructions, and Java ...

ARM is the top CPU designer for smartphones, Intel is the big name in PCs. What's the difference? Find out in this Arm vs x86 comparison!

The study stresses the importance of careful instruction set design, rich connectivity topologies and the need to co-design applications and hardware to achieve the best performance from fledgling ...

An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...
