RISC instruction sets are also known as load-store architectures, and represent the minimal set of instructions on which a stack of software can be built. They load and store words in memory locations, perform the arithmetical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on floating point numbers as well as integers. They perform the logical operations of AND, NOT, OR and others on data, and have the ability to make decisions based on the results of logical or arithmetical calculations. These decisions usually result in some form of branching. MIPS is a well known RISC instruction set.
In MIPS out-of-order execution is possible.
