Re: <IA-64 utilizes the fundamental VLIW principle that hazards are detected at compile time, rather than at run time (like in a superscalar architecture.) IA-64 also utilizes the fundamental VLIW principle that specific types of instructions are limited to specific dispatch slots. I think you are arguing semantics.> I hate semantic arguments and I don't care to carry this any further. What I object to is for you or anyone else to label IA-64 as VLIW and then point out flaws of VLIW when discussing IA-64. If you want to point out flaws of IA-64 then please do so. Just drop this "guilt by association" because the association is purely semantic.
