Description
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.
