Stanford and [[University of California, Berkeley|UC Berkeley]] are most associated with the popularization of this concept. The [[Stanford MIPS]] would go on to be commercialized as the successful [[MIPS architecture]], while [[Berkeley RISC]] gave its name to the entire concept, commercialized as the [[SPARC]]. Another success from this era were [[IBM]]'s efforts that eventually led to the [[IBM POWER instruction set architecture]], [[PowerPC]], and [[Power ISA]]. As these projects matured, a wide variety of similar designs flourished in the late 1980s and especially the early 1990s, representing a major force in the [[Unix workstation]] market as well as [[embedded processor]]s in [[laser printer]]s, [[router (computing)|routers]] and similar products.<ref name="coinrisk">{{cite book |title=Milestones in Computer Science and Information Technology |url=https://archive.org/details/milestonesincomp0000reil |url-access=registration |last=Reilly |first=Edwin D. |year=2003 |isbn=1-57356-521-0 |page=[https://archive.org/details/milestonesincomp0000reil/page/50 50]|publisher=Bloomsbury Academic }}</ref> *[[SUN workstation]] β [[Andy Bechtolsheim]] designed the SUN workstation,<ref>{{Cite book |title=High Noon: The Inside Story of Scott McNealy and the Rise of Sun Microsystems |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rQl4169IA4kC&q=german&pg=PA88 |access-date=April 19, 2022 |isbn=9780471297130 |last1=Southwick |first1=Karen |date=August 27, 1999| publisher=John Wiley & Sons }}</ref> for the [[Stanford University Network]] communications project as a personal [[Computer-aided design|CAD]] workstation,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://i.stanford.edu/TR/CSL-TR-82-229.html |title=The SUN Workstation Architecture |author1=Andreas Bechtolsheim |author2=Forest Baskett |date=March 1982 |work=Stanford University Computer systems Laboratory Technical Report No. 229 |access-date=July 5, 2018 |author3=Vaughan Pratt}}</ref> which led to [[Sun Microsystems]]. *[[MIMO]] - [[Arogyaswami Paulraj]] and [[Thomas Kailath]] invented multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) radio communications, which involves simultaneously using multiple antennas on receivers and transmitters.
