Why are RISC architectures referred to as Load-Store architectures?

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.

What is a cache?

Answer:- The Cache memory is placed between the CPU and the main memory. It is a fast speed memory and is expensive and faster than the main memory. Cache memory is used to store the frequently accessed data of main memory. The instructions that are frequently used by the CPU are stored in the cache memory. It is used to reduce the average access time for address, instructions or data, which are normally stored in the main memory. Cache memory increases the operating speed of the system. But is much costlier than main memory. From economic considerations, the capacity of the cache memory is much less as compared to main memory..


What are the advantages of RISC architecture over CISC?

CISC RISC Emphasis on hardware Emphasis on software Includes multi-clockcomplex instructions Single-clock,reduced instruction only Memory-to-memory:"LOAD" and "STORE"incorporated in instructions Register to register:"LOAD" and "STORE"are independent instructions Small code sizes,high cycles per second Low cycles per second,large code sizes Transistors used for storingcomplex instructions Spends more transistorson memory registers RISC-Means Reduced Instruction Set Computer.aRiscsystem has reduced number of instructions and moreimportantly it is load store architecture werepipelining can be implemented easily.Eg.ATMEL AVRCISC-Means Complex instruction set architecure.A CISCsystem has complex instructions such as directaddition between data in two memory locations.Eg.8085Simplicity of the instruction set means that they get processed faster (less branching). You get performance improvements if the gain in speed is not offset by the necessary increase in instructions.
