Tony,

There is no way that a VLIW processor could do out of order execution. The whole point of VLIW is to remove the complexity involved with hazard detection and resolution.

VLIW is a great idea for a low power device (like Transmeta), but rather questionable as a server/workstation technology.

Tony,

If you reference page 30 of the Alpha and IA64 paper
referenced earlier you see where they quote the leading
industry expert that sells a $1200 tome "all about"
IA64 and how wonderful it will be. That would be
Linley "Merced" Gwennap.. on page 30 a chart
shows what Linley "knows". The
improvement McKinley adds .. biggest improvement is
on-chip L2.

From what I read (sorry, no sources :-) OOO for IA64
will be a VERY VERY difficult proposition.

Rob
