| Zusammenfassung: | A computer-implemented method automates the design of efficient binary instruction encodings of VLIW instruction formats. The method automatically finds compact instruction formats that can express and exploit the full parallelism specified in the underlying processor microarchitecture, subject to constraints on alignment and decode hardware complexity. The method can be guided by statistics about the composition and frequency of program instructions, so that the instruction format design is customized to a particular set of applications or an application domain. |
