I have two opposing ideas. I think that all the instructions in a RISC take the same time what makes me believe RISC is associated with synchronous.
At the same time i think that CISC should be synchronous and RISC should be asynchronous.
Can you tell me if RISC is associated with asynchronous and CISC is associated with synchronous? WHY???
Thanks!
What do you mean by synchronous and asynchronous. If you are talking about logic clocking, then cisc vs risc vs a hard disk controller dont matter, it is just some logic that you are clocking. And when it comes to processors if you are thinking in whether they can perform operations in series or parallel, it also doesnt matter between the two because both can be implemented either way. Some CISC processors are a shell around a risc or vliw or some flavor of other processor. If you are thinking parallel execution vs serial, in order or out of order execution, again the two dont matter with either one if you have the right logic and the right pipelines you can look ahead and execute out of order and in parallel.
It is like saying there are red sweaters and green sweaters made from red and green yarn. they are still just a combination of knit and purl stitches. Logic is just a lot of primitive gates, be it a disk controller chip, sound card chip, or processor, you can implement the logic in as many ways as you can implement a program to solve a particular problem. Machine code is nothing more than a bunch of bits fed into a bunch of gates, there is nothing special about how risc works vs cisc other than the number of bits you feed and the number of gates to implement. One might be easier to implement than another but it is still just some number of logic gates.
