EPIC, which stands for Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing.
EPIC(Explicitly parallel instruction computing)
a program is called a program. a set of instructions is called a manual.
machine code instruction set or assembly language
The instruction set of a computer is the collection of commands that its Central Processing Unit (CPU) can carry out natively. These are the things that the processor inherently knows how to do if asked.
Computer architecture is the parts of a computer and how they relate together in helping it to carry out its purpose. It is a combination of instruction set design and micro architecture.

The instruction set is usually called IA-64. This is not to be confused with EM64T, a 64-bit instruction set used in mainstream desktop processors. The answer your looking for is (EPIC)Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing Chicagocubano strikes again
ARM is a family of instruction set architectures for computer processors based on a reduced instruction set computing architecture developed by British company ARM Holdings.
Planned x86 processors will have the SSE4 instruction set.
The set of instructions, on the CPU chip, that the computer can perform directly.
3DNOW is the technology that AMD processors use for multimedia instruction set.
RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer. The design strategy of a RISC processor includes limiting the number of instructions. This does not mean that ALL RISC processors have less instructions than ALL CISC processors, but in general, they do.
It depends on the specific instruction set for the processor you are programming. Most processors will support the basic logical instructions, but you would have to view the documentation for a particular processor to know for sure.
CISC (complex instruction set computing)
Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) is a CPU design concept that seeks gains in power as a trade-off for simplified instructions. This design philosophy is directly opposed to Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC), which is the basis of the x86 style processors of the vast majority of home PCs and laptops.Performance-OrientedThe construction of the RISC processor is such that performance is the priority, rather than raw power. When RISC and CISC were developed, the bottleneck of microprocessors was power, meaning that CISC won out and efficient, performance-oriented chips were used less and less. RISC came back into vogue when the need increased for chips that make efficient use of portable battery power.Less VersatileSince the instruction set is so simple, that is, one instruction per cycle, RISC processors tend to be better used for simple and repetitive logic operations. CISC processors are truly "general purpose," meaning that they can pipeline multiple instructions at once without a preference for simpler or more complex applications. RISC processors need to be programmed in a very particular fashion.SimplerThe performance orientation of the RISC architecture is due to its simple and efficient instruction set. This simplicity means that RISC processors are easier to design and inexpensive to produce, making them ideal for purpose-built and cheap computing machines that execute repetitive instructions.Long Instruction StringsRISC processors can be adapted to run CISC style instruction strings, but they are incredibly inefficient at doing so. Since a RISC processor can only handle one instruction string at a time, code needs to be more compartmentalised and, therefore, more complicated.
The most gaping advantage can be very easilly explained through example: Single core processors have a single thread, and can process a single set of instructions per clock cycle. This looks like this (Saying this processor can process 2 instructions a clock): (Note this is in an optimal setting where data is perfectly threaded) Clock 1: Instruction 1; Instruction 2; Clock 2: Instruction 3; Instruction 4; Clock 3: Instruction 5; Instruction 6; Clock 4: Instruction 7; Instruction 8; Dual-Core processing would do this same instruction set much quicker: Clock 1: Instruction 1; Instruction 2; Instruction 3; Instruction 4 Clock 2: Instruction 5; Instruction 6; Instruction 7; Instruction 8 In a perfectly threaded application, two equivilent-performance cores on a dual core processor would power through the work twice as quickly as a single-core model. A quad-core with these specs would do the entire instruction set in a single clock. Even if it isn't always a 2x increase, multiple-core procesors have a distinct advantage in a very large range of applications.

There is one instruction set in the IA-32. Instruction set is the set of instruction that a processor can execute.
