EXERCISES

◆1. Why do RISC machines operate on registers?
2. Which characteristics of RISC systems could be directly implemented in CISC systems? Which characteristics of RISC machines could not be implemented in CISC machines (based on the defining characteristics of both architectures as listed in Table 9.1)?
◆3. What does the “reduced” in reduced instruction set computer really mean?
4. Suppose a RISC machine uses overlapping register windows with:
- 10 global registers
- 6 input parameter registers
- 10 local registers
- 6 output parameter registers
  
  How large is each overlapping register window?
◆5. A RISC processor has 8 global registers and 10 register windows. Each window has 4 input registers, 8 local registers, ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
