Summary

One of the most important innovations in computer development is the reduced instruction set computer (RISC). An analysis of the RISC architecture brings into focus many important issues in computer organization and architecture. The objectives of this tutorial are to (1) provide a comprehensive introduction to RISC and (2) give readers an understanding of RISC design issues, and the ability to asses their importance relative to other approaches. This tutorial is intended for students, professionals in the fields of computer science and computer engineering, designers and implementers, and data processing managers who now find RISC machines among their available processor choices.
