Very long instruction word
ID: very-long-instruction-word
Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) is an architecture design philosophy used in computer processors that allows multiple operations to be encoded in a single, long instruction word. Instead of processing one instruction at a time, VLIW architectures enable the execution of multiple operations simultaneously, which can enhance performance and efficiency. ### Key Features of VLIW: 1. **Instruction Encoding**: A VLIW instruction can consist of multiple operation codes (opcodes) packaged together within a single instruction.
