Date Issued:
1986
Summary:
As a new trend in designing a computer architecture, Reduced Instruction set Computers(RISC) have been proposed recently. This thesis reviews the new design approach behind the RISC and discuss the controversy between the proponents of the RISC approach and those of the traditional Complex Instruction set COmputer(CISC) approach. Ridge 32 is selected as a case study of the RISCs. Architectural parameters to evaluate the computer performance are considered to analyze the performance of the Ridge 32. A simulator for the Ridge 32 was implemented in PASCAL as a way of measuring those parameters. Measurement results on the several selected benchmark programs are given and analyzed to evaluate the characteristics of the Ridge 32.
