ARM

The Arm architecture is a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) architecture with the following RISC architecture features:

• A large uniform register file.
• A load/store architecture, where data-processing operations only operate on register contents, not directly on memory contents.
• Simple addressing modes, with all load/store addresses determined from register contents and instruction fields only.

The Arm architecture supports implementations across a wide range of performance points. Implementation size, performance, and very low power consumption are key attributes of the Arm architecture.
