RISC architectures generally have fewer instructions that operate directly on memory locations than CISC architectures. So, where a CISC machine will have instructions that operate directly on memory, in RISC this would be implemented as: Load from memory into register, do operation on register, store register back into memory. So a lot of the processing revolves around the Load-Store loop.

Which one from RISC and CISC is mostly used and why?

RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architectures are more commonly used in modern computing, particularly in mobile devices and embedded systems, due to their efficiency and performance advantages. RISC designs simplify the instruction set, allowing for faster execution and easier pipelining, which enhances overall processing speed. In contrast, CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) architectures, while powerful for certain tasks, often result in more complex hardware and slower execution due to longer instruction cycles. Thus, RISC's focus on simplicity and speed makes it the preferred choice in many applications today.


What are the different types of instructions in a RISC machine?

Well, different RISC architectures can (and do) have different instruction sets, but the basics I can think of (thinking back to my computer org classes, long ago) that any would have would be add, subtract, branch, store and retrieve. Basically, anything else can be built from those.


WHAT part of the processor is responsible for directing actions performed by the processor?

When an instruction reaches a microprocessor it arrives at an internal block known as a "microcode sequencer" which is present in CISC architectures. This microcode sequencer then steps through a series of locations in the microcode ROM and issues control signals to the various registers, multiplexers, ALU, etc in the microprocessor. RISC architectures lack this microcode sequencer, but have a similar construct known as a microcode translator or interpreter. Because RISC machines must complete execution in a single clock cycle, there aren't any "steps" to cycle through. Remember that RISC instructions are inherently more simple than CISC instructions.
