Can GPUs really be considered VLIW just because they might share an instruction pointer across a couple of 'micro cores'? AFAIK they went even back from SIMD to scalar a long time ago.
- dontlaugh 4y agoI suppose. They’re still very wide machines, which to me seems like the most interesting aspect of VLIW. Of course actual VLIW still are around as DSPs.
- wespiser_2018 4y agoNo, I don't think so. It's one instruction on multiple data (SIMD). That's the essence of a vector op!
