ISA has never meant Industry Standard Architecture. Why did they get that wrong? It's just such a weird error to make, especially at the postgraduate level.

- hga 11y agoAn unfortunate typo in the abstract, in the glossary it's defined as "Instruction Set Architecture"
- CurtHagenlocher 11y agoISA has been used to mean Industry Standard Architecture much more often than it has been used to mean Instruction Set Architecture -- just not in this context, and probably not in the last 20 years.
- unwind 11y agoIndustry Standard Architecture was the standard bus interface in PCs, before PCI et cetera. So the term has certainly been used a great deal with that meaning, although it's of course a typo in this context where it should mean Instruction Set Architecture.
