ARM, the ISA, is wholly rooted in academic exercises like Berkeley RISC.
What do you think happened? RISC-I and RISC-II never existed, ARM means "Automated Reasoning Mechanism" and the ISA was never RISC whatsoever?
Talk about nonsense, damn...
- sehansen 2mo agoNo, ARM means "Acorn RISC Machine" and was developed by Acorn Computers, a British computer manufacturer, because the 8-bit MOS 6502 they had based their previous designs on was obsolete, available 16-bit processors "a bit crap"[0] and available 32-bit designs too expensive. So the ARM ISA was developed by a computer manufacturer for use in their own chips in their own products, quite far from an "academic exercise". 0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf67JYkUCHQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf67JYkUCHQ at 7:35
