About this document
Understanding ISA and Microarchitecture by ghost is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document explains that the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the basic operations a computer must support without detailing implementation specifics. It uses the example of AMD Athlon and Core 2 Duo processors, which have different implementations but support the same x86 ISA operations. Additionally, it introduces Register Transfer Language (RTL) as the micro operation involving registers that combines all micro operations of instructions.
