RISC is an acronym which stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer.

The basis of a RISC processor is that it has a relatively small set of possible instructions, but it executes those instructions very fast.

The model Unknown [verification needed] was the first RISC-based server and OS/400 V3R6 was the first operating system version
