Remember how I said that Moore's Law is "the full-employment act for computer pundits"? In the smaller niche of microprocessor journalism, there used to be another topic that was always good for a ...

Interrupt responsiveness, code execution predictability, and the ability to easily and quickly manipulate I/O pins and register bits are also important considerations. Standardized benchmarks such as ...

A couple of years ago, Erik McClure (a Microsoft software developer, at the time) published a blog entitled RISC Is Fundamentally Unscalable. This blog was really quite interesting and made some very ...

The RISC-V CPU architecture currently accounts for under 1% of the world’s processor market, but that is going to change rapidly over the next years as its parallel processing is perfectly suited to ...

Every major computing era has been defined not by technology, but by a dominant workload—and by how well processor architectures adapted to it. The personal computer era rewarded general-purpose ...

RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture (ISA), is reshaping the global computing landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs such as x86, widely used by Intel and AMD, or ARM, which dominates mobile and ...
