RISC and CISC - Coggle Diagram
RISC and CISC
Reduced instruction set computer
Has reduced Hardware
More registers
One clock cycle per instruction
REduced/ simpiler hardware, means that less money is required to build the computer
However more RAM is needed.
Increased amount of software required to make the computer work
More complicated software code
Simple instruction set
Only has around 30 to 40 instructions
Therefore less processor power required
INstructions are executed in parallel (pipeline)
Cpu operations are kept simple
Complex instruction set computer
Complex instruction set
Around 100 to 200 instructions
More complex hardware
Takes more cycles per instruction
Duration of an instruction 4-120
Instructions are run one by one (squentially)
More compact software, as the instructions are more advanced, and so therefore, less code is required to to run a very advanced instruction in RISC.
Programmers job is simpler, as more advanced instruction set means easier time coding. as one instruction does many things in the cpu
