INTRODUCTION Reduced instruction set computing‚ or RISC‚ is a CPU design strategy based on the insight that simplified instruction set (as opposed to a complex set) provides higher performance when combined with a microprocessor architecture capable of executing those instructions using fewer microprocessor cycles per instruction. A computer based on this strategy is a reduced instruction set computer‚ also called RISC. The opposing architecture is called complex instruction set computing‚ i.e. CISC. Various

Andrew Miller History 1302 - LaCoco Monday‚ May 9‚ 2011 “Integrated Circuits” Gordon E. Moore‚ co-founder of Intel‚ noted in 1965 that the power of integrated circuits doubles every two years.[1] This‚ known as Moore’s Law‚ is the basis for what I believe to have had the most profound impact on American History. Without integrated circuits‚ culture changing devices such as the iPhone would not be possible. These circuits were created in 1958 by Jack Kilby‚ inventor of the hand-held

Unit (CPU) is a chip‚ containing a microprocessor‚ at the heart of most every modern computing electronic. A microprocessor is a small integrated circuit or chip‚ comprised of silicon and transistors‚ which interprets electrical impulses‚ performs operations on the electrical impulses‚ and sends the impulses to another device. The transistors are simple switches that turn on and off‚ allowing the electrical impulses through when on or open ’. Microprocessors are very small. They can range in size

decision making process is typically termed information. The heart of the computer is a microprocessor chip. Today microprocessors are embedded inside various every-day machines such as cars‚ television sets and washing machines. These microprocessors usually control some function of the machine and are hidden from the user. The term computer can virtually be applied to any such device that has a microprocessor in it. However most people describe a computer as a device that comprises of a keyboard

computer’s operating system is a type of application software. 3. Microcontrollers are special purpose microprocessors that can be embedded in devices such as refrigerators‚ cars‚ and washing machines. 4. A bit is a binary digit‚ such as a 1 or 0. 5. ASCII‚ EBCDIC‚ and Unicode are used to represent character data. 6. A megabyte is 1024 bits. 7. Microprocessors are a type of integrated circuit. 8. C‚ COBOL‚ and Java are examples of programming languages.

RCA laboratories first produce CMOS technology for aerospace and commercial applications. The first static RAM was introduced in 1968 with 288-bit capacity. In the first integrated microprocessor with CMOS technology only had 4bit and in 1972 an 8bit version was released. In 1975 RCA produces the COSMAC 1802 microprocessor to be use in Chrysler automobile engine control units (ECU). Low cost versions of the 8bit integrate chip make way to personal computers and video game consoles. The CMOS technology
