scumbria - Re: " I have to wonder if the benefits of a VLIW architecture outweigh the problems "

For the longest time, you have babbling on and on and on about DRAM latency and how there are no solutions yada yada yada.

Well WAKE UP !

Intel/HP's EPIC architecture is "explicitly" designed to circumvent this latency problem by pulling in code ahead of time and executing parallel paths (branches) prior to knowing the outcome of the branch control logic.

So while you spend your time whining, Intel's and HP's engineers are spending their time DOING SOEMTHING ABOUT IT.
