Computer Architecture has had a few great improvements since the birth of the computer. Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC), Pipelining, Cache Memory, and Virtual Memory are the four most important advances. If any of these techniques were to be implemented separately there would not be as great of an improvement in the computer systems we have today. They are each dependent upon the other to amplify the performance increases. While each of these performs separate tasks to improve system
