Abstract
The article discusses the technology behind the resurgence of DSP oriented microprocessors and the techniques that allow one to use them well. After an overview of the VLIW architecture, it discusses three main areas: VLIW architectural feature relevant to DSP applications; their associated complier techniques; and coding techniques that allow the application programmer, while still coding in a high-level language, to best exploit the architecture
