Abstract
One of the most important and controversial innovations in computer architecture in the 1980’s has been the notion of a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC). Both the RISC advocates and the defenders of CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) architectures argue that the respective styles of architecture are intended to support programming in higher-level languages (HLL’s). The argument for CISC design is that it reduces the “semantic gap” between source language and architecture. The arguments for RISC architecture include the claims that code generation is easier because there are fewer choices, and that the architecture includes only the instructions that are used frequently.
