Several studies have demonstrated that out-of-order execution processors may not be the most adequate organization for wide issue processors due to the increasing penalties that w...
This paper represents a design study of the datapath for a very long instruction word (VLIW) video signal processor (VSP). VLIW architectures provide high parallelism and excellen...
