 VERY LONG INSTRUCTION WORD Definition
We define VERY LONG INSTRUCTION WORD |
VERY LONG INSTRUCTION WORD - A microprocessor architecture different from CISC and RISC. VLIW uses encoded instructions that are even more complex than the instructions used in CISC. While RISC took instruction sets in a simpler direction by making instructions smaller, VLIW moves them in a more complex direction by encoding four or more instructions into a single operation. VLIW is used in the Hewlett Packard PA-RISC series of microprocessors, and formed the basis of some of the architecture used in Intel's IA-64 processors. |
