[comp.arch] RISC/CISC Philosophies

vijay@nixbur.UUCP (Vijay) (06/02/90)

I am interested in knowing more about the RISC
(Reduced Instruction Set Computing) & CISC (Complex Instruction
Set Computing) Philosophies. I am more interested in comparisions
of the two architures (performance, etc.). If anyone has some
knowledge about this please reply.. Even some pointers would
be helpful.


Thanks,
