The one instruction set computer (OISC) is the ultimate reduced
instruction set computer (RISC). In OISC, the instruction set
consists of only one instruction, and then by composition, all
other necessary instructions are synthesized. This is an approach
completely opposite to that of a complex instruction set computer
(CISC), which incorporates complex instructions as microprograms
within the processor.
Computer Architecture: A Minimalist Perspective examines
computer architecture, computability theory, and the history of
computers from the perspective of one instruction set computing - a
novel approach in which the computer supports only one, simple
instruction. This bold, new paradigm offers significant promise in
biological, chemical, optical, and molecular scale computers.
Features include:
- Provides a comprehensive study of computer architecture using
computability theory as a base.
- Provides a fresh perspective on computer architecture not found
in any other text.
- Covers history, theory, and practice of computer architecture
from a minimalist perspective. Includes a complete implementation
of a one instruction computer.
- Includes exercises and programming assignments. Computer
Architecture: A Minimalist Perspective is designed to meet the
needs of a professional audience composed of researchers, computer
hardware engineers, software engineers computational theorists, and
systems engineers. The book is also intended for use in upper
division undergraduate students and early graduate students
studying computer architecture or embedded systems. It is an
excellent text for use as a supplement or alternative in
traditional Computer Architecture Courses, orin courses entitled
"Special Topics in Computer Architecture."
