- The MASC (for Multiple Associative Computing) model is a SIMD model enhanced with associative properties and multiple synchronous instruction streams (IS). A number of algorithms...
Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architectures exploit instruction level parallelism (ILP) with the help of the compiler to achieve higher instruction throughput with minimal hard...
VLIW architectures are popular in embedded systems because they offer high-performance processing at low cost and energy. The major problem with traditional VLIW designs is that t...
