'''Advanced RISC Computing''' ('''ARC''') is a [[Specification (technical standard)|specification]] promulgated by a defunct consortium of [[computer]] manufacturers (the [[Advanced Computing Environment]] project), setting forth a standard [[MIPS Technologies|MIPS]] [[RISC]]-based computer [[Computer hardware|hardware]] and [[firmware]] environment. The firmware on [[DEC Alpha|Alpha]] machines that are compatible with ARC is known as '''AlphaBIOS''', non-ARC firmware on Alpha is known as [[SRM firmware|SRM]].{{Dubious|date=November 2022|reason=The DEC Multia had both AlphaBIOS and SRM it seems}}
