    Risc and Cisc Processors: by Chimi Dorji

    Uploaded by

    Chencho Dorji
    This document provides an overview of RISC and CISC processors. It discusses that CISC processors have more complex instruction sets that are implemented in hardware, while RISC processors have reduced instruction sets that aim to execute instructions very quickly. Examples of early CISC processors include PDP-11 and Intel 80x86, while early RISC processors were MIPS R3000 and IBM 801. Modern processors are often hybrids that implement aspects of both approaches. The document compares key differences between CISC and RISC such as emphasis on hardware vs software and instruction types. It concludes that there is no single better approach between RISC and CISC, as each has advantages over the other.

    RISC AND CISC

    PROCESSORS

    BY CHIMI DORJI
    Agenda
    • Introduction
    • Brief Overview of RISC and CISC
    • Processors
    • Examples
    • Comparison
    • Conclusion
    Hardware design was easier than compiler
    design, so large parts of the complexity of the
    software went into the hardware (and/or
    microcode). This design philosophy was named
    Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC).
    With the advent of higher level languages, a
    new design strategy started to gain more and
    more popularity: instructions which "do less"
    may still provide high performances if this
    simplicity can be utilized to make instructions
    execute very quickly. The focus on "reduced
    instructions" led to the resulting machine being
    called a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC).
    RISC/CISC???
    • CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) are
    chips that are easy to program and which make
    efficient use of memory.

    • RISC(Reduced Instruction Set Computer) is a type


    of microprocessor architecture that utilizes a
    small, highly-optimized set of instructions, rather
    than a more specialized set of instructions often
    found in other types of architectures.
    PROCESSORS
    • PDP-11, DECsystem 10 &20 machines, Intel
    80x86 and Motorola 68K series followed the CISC
    philosophy.
    • MIPS R3000 processor, IBM 801, Stanford MIPS,
    and Berkeley RISC 1 and 2 followed the RISC
    philosophy
    • But recent changes in software and hardware
    technology have forced a re-examination of CISC
    and many modern CISC processors are hybrids,
    implementing many RISC principles
    Example of CISC
    • Pentium
    Example of a Instruction Execution
    CISC versus RISC

    CISC RISC

    Emphasis on hardware Emphasis on software


    Includes multi-clock Single-clock,
    complex instructions reduced instruction only
    Memory-to-memory: Register to register:
    "LOAD" and "STORE" "LOAD" and "STORE"
    incorporated in instructions are independent instructions
    Small code sizes, Low cycles per second,
    high cycles per second large code sizes
    Transistors used for storing Spends more transistors
    complex instructions on memory registers
    Conclusion
    • RISC vs CISC, which is better?
    – There is no right or wrong answer
    – Each has some feature that is better than the
    other
