What are characteristics of CISC and RISC architecture?

RISC stands for ‘Reduced Instruction Set Computer Whereas, CISC stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer. The RISC processors have a smaller set of instructions with few addressing nodes. The CISC processors have a larger set of instructions with many addressing nodes.

What are the main characteristics of RISC processors?

Characteristic of RISC –

• Simpler instruction, hence simple instruction decoding.
• Instruction comes undersize of one word.
• Instruction takes a single clock cycle to get executed.
• More general-purpose registers.
• Simple Addressing Modes.
• Less Data types.
• Pipeline can be achieved.

What are the characteristics of RISC processor?

Characteristic of RISC – Simpler instruction, hence simple instruction decoding. Instruction comes undersize of one word. Instruction takes a single clock cycle to get executed. More general-purpose registers.

Which is one of the major characteristics of RISC in concept of pipelining?

RISC makes use of simple addressing modes and fixed length instructions for pipelining. RISC allows any register to be used in any context. RISC has only one cycle for execution time. The work load of a computer that has to be performed is reduced by operating the “LOAD” and “STORE” instructions.
