KZnerd, I agree with Scumbria that compilers for VLIW will never live up to their potential with the current programming paradigm. If programming was expressed using graphical flow diagrams it would be possible to make a good compiler. However, I think that multiple CPU's in a computer (multiprocessing) is ultimately more efficient than attempting to run multiple micro-threads in a single CPU. The graphical programming language is also the way to go for multiprocessing. After reading many thoughtful posts on my question about the evolution of IA-32, IA-64, I mostly agree with kash that IA-64 and Alpha will start to overtake IA-32 eventually. I don't believe Intel will be the only company making IA-64 chips. Petz
