Instruction Set Architecture

Software Development and Engineering Practices

Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is the abstract model of a computer that defines the set of instructions a processor can execute, including data types, registers, addressing modes, and memory architecture. Examples include x86, ARM, and RISC-V, and it serves as the interface between hardware and software, relevant to computer engineers and low-level systems programmers.
