Instruction Set Simulators for processors and Transaction Level Models for other hardware blocks written in languages such as SystemC bring solution to these problems. Processor core of which ...

ARC's Tangent-core processor is unique among microcontrollers, but companies are starting to move their microcontroller offerings in Tangent's direction. The ARC core provides 30 base instructions, ...

Every microprocessor is different, in part because it executes its own special set of instructions. Like human languages, CPU instruction sets have a lot of similarities; they just use different words ...

Processor IP developer Cortus has launched new cores– the APS23 and 25 – based on its V2 instruction set. The V2 instruction set extends functionality by adding 24bit instructions to the existing 16 ...

Intel and AMD took over the server processor market in the mid-2000s. This happened after AMD introduced 64-bit instructions into the x86 instruction set with its Opteron processor architecture.

CAMBRIDGE, England — Processor licensor ARM Holdings plc has launched a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) extension to its architecture called Neon. Neon addresses signal and media processing ...

A technical paper titled “Energy-Efficient Exposed Datapath Architecture With a RISC-V Instruction Set Mode” was published by researchers at Tampere University. Abstract: “Transport triggered ...

Intel renamed the instruction set Intel 64 and today it is generically called x64 (originally x86-64, but that name was a bit clunky). Intel begrudgingly introduced the x64 ISA in the Pentium 4 ...

ARC's configurable processor adds the ability to run both 16 and 32-bit instructions on a 32-bit architecture, allowing designers to reduce memory requirements by up to 30%, resulting in both lower ...
