An instruction set architecture (ISA) represents the connection between opcodes (hexadecimal or binary instructions) and the processor's hardware. It can also be used to describe the cpu register collection available or other processor characteristics.


Common ISAs include, but are not limited to:

  • x86
  • x86_64/amd64
  • PowerPC
  • ARM
  • CBEA
