Guide to RISC Processors

Popular processor designs can be broadly divided into two categories: Complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC) and Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC). The dominant processor in the PC market, Pentium, belongs to the CISC category. However, the recent trend is to use the RISC designs. Even Intel has moved from CISC to RISC design for their 64-bit processor. The main objective of this book is to provide a guide to the architecture and assembly language of the popular RISC processors. In all, we cover five RISC designs in a comprehensive manner.
