The Fujitsu FR-V VLIW/vector processor combines both technologies. (10 words)
Multiflow's VLIW could issue 28 operations in parallel per instruction. (11 words)
The Infineon Carmel DSP is another VLIW processor core intended for SoC. (12 words)
The strategy of the very long instruction word (VLIW) causes some ILP to become implied directly by the software, reducing the amount of work the CPU must perform to boost ILP and thereby reducing the design's complexity. (38 words)
Fisher's second innovation was the notion that the target CPU architecture should be designed to be a reasonable target for a compiler; that the compiler and the architecture for a VLIW processor must be codesigned. (36 words)
The KSR processor was a 2-wide VLIW, with instructions of 6 types: memory reference (load and store), execute, control flow, memory control, I/O, and inserted. (27 words)
Example sentences (19)
Another variation is the very long instruction word (VLIW) where the processor receives many instructions encoded and retrieved in one instruction word.
Fisher's second innovation was the notion that the target CPU architecture should be designed to be a reasonable target for a compiler; that the compiler and the architecture for a VLIW processor must be codesigned.
In a VLIW, the compiler uses heuristics or profile information to guess the direction of a branch.
In very long instruction word (VLIW) architectures, which include many microcode architectures, multiple simultaneous opcodes and operands are specified in a single instruction.
Multiflow's VLIW could issue 28 operations in parallel per instruction.
The Fujitsu FR-V VLIW/vector processor combines both technologies.
The Infineon Carmel DSP is another VLIW processor core intended for SoC.

These contemporary VLIW CPUs are mainly successful as embedded media processors for consumer electronic devices.
The strategy of the very long instruction word (VLIW) causes some ILP to become implied directly by the software, reducing the amount of work the CPU must perform to boost ILP and thereby reducing the design's complexity.
They used just-in-time translation to convert x86 instructions to the CPU's native VLIW instruction set.
Thus, VLIW CPUs offer more computing with less hardware complexity (but greater compiler complexity) than do most superscalar CPUs.
To accommodate these operation fields, VLIW instructions are usually at least 64 bits wide, and far wider on some architectures.
Transmeta implemented the x86 instruction set atop VLIW processors in this fashion.
Very long instruction word (VLIW) refers to processor architectures designed to exploit instruction level parallelism (ILP).
VLIW features have also been added to configurable processor cores for system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs.
VLIW lacks this logic, and thus lacks its energy use, possible design defects, and other negative aspects.
VLIW processors have instructions that behave similarly to very wide horizontal microcode, although typically without such fine-grained control over the hardware as provided by microcode.
Within each of the multiple-opcode instructions, a bit field is allocated to denote dependency on the prior VLIW instruction within the program instruction stream.
