**Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)** is a computer that uses a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cpu]] that implements the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:processor|processor]] design [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:principle|principle]] of simplified instructions. To date, RISC is the most efficient CPU architecture technology.

This architecture is an evolution and alternative to [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cisc]]. With RISC, the basic concept is to have simple instructions that do less but execute very quickly to provide better [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:performance|performance]].
