  • acronym forreduced instruction set computer
  • acronym forWISC
  • noun a type of CPU design whose instruction set contains a number of long, complex instructions that make program writing easier, but reduce execution speed.
  • noun a CPU design that allows a programmer to add extra machine code instructions using microcode, to customise the instruction set.

Electronics

  • Acronym for reduced-instruction set computer. A computer whose CPU supports relatively few and simple instructions. The execution of each instruction is generally accomplished within a single clock cycle. This contrasts with a complex instruction set computer whose CPU utilizes numerous and complex instructions.
  • Acronym for reduced-instruction set computing. Computing utilizing a RISC (1). Also called RISC computing.
