RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) is designed in a modular way. It means that the ISA has several groups of instructions (ISA extensions) that can be enabled or disabled as needed. This allows ...

Remarkably, the i960 as a solid RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture has its roots in Intel’s ill-fated extreme CISC architecture, the iAPX 432. As [Ken] describes in his ...

Modern 64-bit-only chips are leaving the original Arm operating system behind A new funding effort from RISC OS Open seeks to ...

AMD Zen microcode hacked for Chinese project Google’s latest security bombshell tool is already fuelling an underground bid ...

The only problem with ARM is that it’s licensed, so if you want to go even further down the open-source path the RISC-V instruction set is the next logical step. Now at least one mainline Linux ...

It can only add single bits at a time and is limited to kilohertz clock speeds, but it is capable of executing the full RISC-V 32-bit instruction set thanks to nearly 6,000 individual transistors.

Designed to support high-performance computing, the RISC-V server chip can also support large open-source language models ...

Chinese researchers have built a 32-bit RISC-V processor using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on sapphire substrate. The ...

Patterson says they chose the acronym RISC—reduced instruction set computer—as a fundraising ploy. Darpa gave them the money. Patterson then did as aspiring academics do: He wrote a spicy paper.

A recent catalyst for creating domain-specific processors has been the RISC-V ISA (Instruction Set Architecture). Since the usage of the ISA is open and royalty-free, it is an attractive basis on ...
