The instructions are not necessarily one cycle. See this reference for cycle times for one version of ARM, a RISC assembly language --... -
FactChecker reacted to difalcojr's post in the thread Thank you to mentors, advisors and members with
Love.
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd... -
FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.Thanks for clarifying. I conclude that I was just confused about RISK. The demand for programmers when RISK began was probably just part...

No, nothing like that. You don't have to keep track of time. That sounds more like low-level real-time programming, as a guess. I don't...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.I got the (maybe incorrect) impression that RISC programming was harder when there was a great shortage of RISK programmers. Maybe the...

RISC (reduced instruction set computing) instruction sets are smaller than those for CISC (complex instruction set computing), which is... -
FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.To be more precise, an assembly language is matched to the architecture that it runs on. Different architecture has a different assembly...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.I think the difference between RISK versus CISK is more significant than that.

You are mistaken here. Different architectures have different assembly languages. Sometimes there even are different versions of an...

I think firmware is more @FactChecker ‘s alley. I’d call a device driver firmware. Anything that interfaces to hardware.

Visual Studio doesn't permit inline assembly (i.e., using the asm keyword) in 64-bit code. The example I showed was compiled as 32-bit...

Indeed, assembly language isn't known for being funny and a breeze to work with. And as for speeding things up in this day and age...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.How much you will use assembly language depends on what type of work you do. If you get into real-time device handlers, you will see it...

Here's a simple example of what I mean by mixed-language programming. Below is the high-level part in C. // Driver.cpp : Call an...
