  • Abstract
    The author discusses the history of microprocessor instruction sets, in particular, complex instruction set computing (CISC). He then goes on to discuss the development of reduced instruction set computing (RISC). He describes in more detail the Motorola 88000 family of RISC based chips, including register use, multiprocessor support, compilers, and performance
