Urbit @urbit · Aug 17

People are paying attention to reduced instruction set computing (RISC) more these days. Maybe because they are interested in better per-watt performance, or perhaps for purposes of building ZK-provable circuits for general purpose computing.

And maybe it's worth it. @Apple Silicon (ARM) is great. Of course, things like @Intel's Panther Lake is breathing new life into x86, proving that efficiency isn't just about reduced instructions sets.

So why does Urbit use a reduced instruction set? We are far away from trying to do efficient bare metal CPUs. And we leave the ZK provable computation to @nockchain.

We are interested in reduced instruction sets for a rather unique reason: stability. And not just in the 'my computer doesn't crash' sort of way, but with the idea that all of general purpose computing needs a stable foundation upon which it can be built. A foundation upon which we can build a forever computer.

Nock is Urbit's RISC. 12 opcodes (~10% as many as RISC-V), narrowed down to the bare minimum ontop of which the whole of general purpose computing can be built. It has changed every so slightly over the years, but using Urbit's practice of 'kelvin versionining' (version numbers count down to 0, and then there are no more changes ever again), it is becoming more and more solid.

Curious to learn more about Nock, and a little homesick for Christmastime? Check out our "12 Days of Nockmas" block series, day 0 below: urbit.org/blog/nockmas-2…
