I am looking for some reference material on the RISC architecture(s?).
Specifically I would like to why they came into being, which ones exist, and
has anyone evaluated the performance of the RISC (either in general or for a
specific implementation). I am writing a term paper for one of my courses
and my topic is to compare stack and RISC architectures with respect to
performance.
thanks in advance
Peter
