Abstract:The RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is an open-source, modular and extensible ISA. The ability to add new instructions into a dedicated core opens up perspectives to accelerate VM components or provide dedicated hardware IPs to applications running on top. However, the RISC-V ISA design is clashing on several aspects with other ISAs and therefore software historically built around them. Among them, the lack of condition codes and instruction expansion through simple instruction combination. In this p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
