Focuses on simple, highly optimized instructions that execute in a single clock cycle, prioritizing speed and efficient hardware pipelines (e.g., ARM). COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE
The techniques specified in the ISA to determine where the data operands for an instruction are located (e.g., in registers or main memory). COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE
Focuses on rich, complex instructions that can perform multi-step operations in a single command, prioritizing smaller code sizes (e.g., x86). Focuses on simple
