Reduced Instruction Set Computing


Reduced Instruction Set Computing or RISC, in computer science, a type of microprocessor design that focuses on rapid and efficient processing of a relatively small set of instructions. RISC design is based on the premise that most of the instructions a computer decodes and executes are simple. As a result, RISC architecture limits the number of instructions that are built into the microprocessor but optimizes each so it can be carried out very rapidly—usually within a single clock cycle. RISC chips thus execute simple instructions faster than microprocessors designed to handle a much wider array of instructions. Families of RISC chips that are gaining popularity include Sun Microsystems' SPARC, Motorola's PowerPC, Digital Equipment Corporation's Alpha, Mips' R4000 and R4400, and Acorn's ARM.
