Abstract

dc:description.abstract

A comparative study of the RISC philosophy of implementing mathematical functions vs the CISC. philosophy implementing the same functions is undertaken. This study tries to verify whether, the RISC philosophy is suited for the computers designed to run specific applications like the realtime systems. A CISC processor is used as a platform machine and several mathematical functions are implemented in both the philosophies.
