IBM solved this problem with the introduction of the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and the microcode engine in the 60s. Specifically, the launch of the microcoded IBM System/360 ushered in ...

A technical paper titled “Energy-Efficient Exposed Datapath Architecture With a RISC-V Instruction Set Mode” was published by researchers at Tampere University. Abstract: “Transport triggered ...

Historically, instruction set architectures (ISAs) are risky bets. Not only are they exceptionally difficult to design, it takes an enormous additional effort to create tools that can leverage new ...

Now Loongson is trying something new: rather than adopt RISC-V, ARM, or x86 architecture, the company has developed its own ISA (instruction set architecture) called LoongArch.

Last week, Chinese processor company Loongson announced plans to release a new instruction set architecture. Loongson is known for processors based on the MIPS architecture, and is linked to the ...

The RISC-V instruction set architecture is an open framework that allows design of a customized processor that can leverage tools and software libraries created for the standard versions.

The new ISA will establish a "common, converged vector instruction set" across all Intel CPU architectures, making it supported on all future processors, including both Performance cores (P-cores ...

In a move to lessen China's reliance on western intellectual property, the government has decided to pick a national instruction set architecture -- but which one will it choose? And what if it ...
