This proposed instruction set is intended to run on both virtual and physical incarnations of the 4-Bit HRRG Computer As you may recall, my chum Chewy is interested in designing and building a 4-bit ...

Major Chinese chip designer Loongson unveiled LoongArch, its new generation, self-developed computer instruction set, The Xinhua News Agency reports. The Loongson operation system, based on the new ...

Building a general-purpose computer means that you’ll have to take a lot of use cases into consideration, and while the end product might be useful for a lot of situations, it will inherently contain ...

Most of us will be familiar at some level with the operation of a basic CPU, usually through exposure to microprocessors of the type that find their way into our projects. We can look at its internal ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a version of the 8051 microcontroller, one of the most commercially used microcontrollers in FPGA with reconfigurable instruction set.

Back in the early days of computing, manufacturers didn’t build a whole line of software-compatible computer systems where each system was aimed at a different price/performance point. Instead, each ...

In computer science, an instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer. It’s also referred to as architecture or computer architecture. Moreover, a central processing unit (CPU) ...

The registers inside the CPU, the machine code instruction set, and the ways in which the instructions interact with the registers and status flags are all intertwined. As you may recall, one of my ...
