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:
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, or in courses entitled "Special
Topics in Computer Architecture".
