In this article, we introduce a dual instruction-set architecture, “Dual-IS”, that implements both RISC-V and TTA instruction sets with shared datapath resources by means of a lightweight microcode ...

Instruction set architecture is the link between a computer's software and hardware.

This stage also involves selecting the instruction set architecture (ISA) that the chip will adhere to. Functional Design: Engineers translate the architectural plan into a detailed schematic.

A new instruction set architecture from China's Loongson, which the company claims is fully made in China, could be a new open-source ISA.

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.

RISC-V as an ecosystem is much more. The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but it doesn't specify how it's implemented, leading to the plethora of RISC-V cores, chips, and boards.

Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. today launched an industry group dedicated to improving the x86 instruction set architecture. Besides the two chipmakers, the consortium, announced at ...

Building from a base The introduction of the RISC-V ISA has ignited interest in the middle ground when it comes to processor design. “RISC-V certainly has a lot of benefits, having a common ...

A job listing posted to Apple's website this week reveals the company is researching RISC-V instruction set architecture solutions, suggesting future in-house chip designs might implement the open ...

Arm Holdings plc plans to cancel a license that gives Qualcomm Inc. permission to use its instruction set architecture in chips. Bloomberg reported the development today. Qualcomm, the world’s ...

RISC-V is, like x86 and ARM, an instruction set architecture (ISA). Unlike x86 and ARM, it is a free and open standard that anyone can use without getting locked into someone else's processor ...
