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...
Miniaturization of devices and the ensuing decrease in the threshold voltage has led to a substantial increase in the leakage component of the total processor energy consumption. ...
To meet the high demand for powerful embedded processors, VLIW architectures are increasingly complex (e.g., multiple clusters), and moreover, they now run increasingly sophistica...
