Dynamic VLIW
Allows a dynamic number of instructions to be queued for simultaneous execution
All inputs within the same queue will be calculated before outputs
`mov R0, R1` and `mov R1, R0` put into the same queue will result in swapping R0 and R1
If any exception occurs during the execution of the queued instructions, all output will be discarded
If multiple exceptions would have theoretically occurred, which one is triggered is undefined
Current format ideas:
A)
effects:
uses space efficiently when using many repetitions of the same opcodes
easier for the CPU to parse
requires all parameter lengths to be the same within the opcode
wastes space when few repetitions of the same opcode exists
format:
num_opcodes
for each:
opcode
num_instructions
for each:
parameters
size_of_immediate_references
for each:
value
B)
effects:
allows variable length parameters
harder for the CPU to parse
format:
size_of_queue
for each instruction:
opcode
parameters
immediate references
