Discuss important features of a RISC microprocessor.
RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer)
- RISC architecture
was developed by realizing that instead of using full set of instructions, only
the frequently used instructions are sufficient.
- In this
architecture, the instructions are small and highly optimized.
- RISC
processors are used where execution time of the instruction should be less and
cost of development is less.
- The ARM
devices are based on ARM architecture which is a subset of RISC.
