In very long instruction word ( VLIW ) architectures, which include many microcode architectures, multiple simultaneous opcodes and operands are specified in a single instruction.
32.
The new unified shader functionality is based upon a very long instruction word ( VLIW ) architecture in which the core executes operations in parallel.
33.
An instruction word consisted of 11 bits for an address, two bits for index register selection, and 7 bits for the operation code and its modifiers.
34.
In use, a programmer would write several instruction mnemonics alongside one another, and the assembler would combine them with OR to devise the actual instruction word.
35.
The step known as mapping in the ND-100 was then avoided because the first micro-instruction word of a macro-instruction was written into the control store cache.
36.
In this respect ( and obviously due to the large instruction word width ), the TTA architecture resembles the very long instruction word ( VLIW ) architecture.
37.
Earlier generations of graphics processing unit ( GPU ) shader pipelines used " very long instruction word " ( VLIW ) instruction sets tailored for similar operations.
38.
A TTA instruction word is composed of multiple slots, one slot per bus, and each slot determines the data transport that takes place on the corresponding bus.
39.
In this respect ( and obviously due to the large instruction word width ), the TTA architecture resembles the very long instruction word ( VLIW ) architecture.

Rau was a founder and chief architect of Cydrome, where he helped develop the Very long instruction word technology that is now standard in modern computer processors.
