Very long instruction word
Very long instruction word or VLIW refers to a processor architecture designed to take advantage of instruction level parallelism. Whereas conventional processors mostly only allow programs that specify instructions to be executed one after another, a VLIW processor allows programs that can explicitly specify instructions to be executed at the same time. This type of processor architecture is intended to allow higher performance without the inherent complexity of some other approaches. Traditional approaches to improving performance in processor architectures include breaking up instructions into sub-steps so that instructions can be executed partially at the same time, dispatching individual instructions to be executed completely independently in different parts of the processor, and even executing instructions in an order different from the program. These approaches all involve increased hardware complexity because the processor must intrinsically make all of the decisions internally for these approaches to work. The VLIW approach, by contrast, depends on the programs themselves providing all the decisions regarding which instructions are to be executed simultaneously and how conflicts are to be resolved. As a practical matter this means that the compiler software becomes much more complex, but the hardware is simpler than many other approaches to parallelism.
