Berkeley RISC is one of two seminal research projects into RISC-based microprocessor design taking place under ARPA's VLSI project. RISC was led by David Patterson (who coined the term RISC) at the University of California, Berkeley between 1980 and 1984.
The other project took place only a short drive away at Stanford University under their MIPS effort starting in 1981 and running until 1984. Berkeley's project was so successful that it became the name for all similar designs to follow; even the MIPS would become known as a "RISC processor". The Berkeley RISC design was later commercialized as the SPARC processor, and inspired the landmark DEC Alpha architecture[citation needed] as well as the ARM architecture which by 2014 powers most mobile phones.
