Introduction: CISC and RISCThe major characteristics of CISC architecture are: Large number of instructions .Some instructions that perform specialized tasks and are used infrequently. Large variety of addressing modes. Variable length instruction formats. Instructions that manipulate operands in memory.

The major characteristics of RISC architecture are:

Relatively few instructions Relatively few addressing modes Memory access limited to load and store instructions All operations done within the registers of the CPU Fixed-length, easily decoded instruction format Single-cycle instruction execution Hardwired rather than microprogrammed control Relatively large number of registers in the processor unit Use of overlapped register windows to speed-up procedure call and return Efficient instruction pipeline Ability to execute one instruction per clock cycle Compiler support for efficient translation of high-level language programs into machine language programs
