So... IA-64 for desktop computers wouldn't be that complex after all?
So can IA-64 replace x86?
How easy would it be for Transmeta to add support for another instruction set and code-morph it? :)
I've read that it does, but I stand corrected. It might be that someone haven't explained the dynamic issuing correctly. I'm 100% sure that they (the articles) said "dynamic scheduling".
I'll look further into that at a later time. Thanks! :)
Well...
I believe that PA-RISC were a VLIW processor, and Intel says that their IA-64 architecture is EPIC, but actually... VLIW and EPIC are basically the same.
Anyway...
The good thing with VLIW is that many instructions can finish simultaneously.
The compiler sorts the instructions and packs...
