Just from a "proliferation and evaluation of technology" point of view, I find it nice that VLIW is getting a bit of a refresh (as an application processor, as opposed to GPUs or DSPs.) It's been quite some time since the Itanic sunk, and compilers have evolved... even if it doesn't go far, this is a nice opportunity to evaluate how well this can do in 2020.
- Symmetry 6y agoWe had NVidia keeping Transmeta's lineage alive in their automotive SOCs until quite recently, but now they've switched over to Arm's latest it seems. Too bad, the combination of code-morphing and an exposed pipeline VLIW design seemed like it could have been a good one though scheduling around variable delay memory accesses remains a challenge.
